WCIP is one of a kind. We have reached a point where neither flattery nor criticism decides why we write. They go down the same drain. The purpose remains.

It is for the one. The one in the dark.

We began writing because we were fed up with the suffering surrounding us and the response to it. The global mental health crisis is a nightmare. What will history call it? I do not know. But I wonder how long future generations will live with its consequences.

And yes, there is a business around that suffering. When help costs more than people can afford, we should be asking difficult questions. What are people paying for? What changes? And when someone keeps coming back, are they receiving the help they need?

Professional support can matter enormously. But people also deserve practical things they can do themselves, without a price attached.

Write something down. Put words to what is troubling you. Then, when you can, give yourself something else to do.

Go and run an errand for someone. Buy groceries for someone who cannot get out. Call someone who lives alone. Fix something. Take a walk with a neighbour. Make a meal and share it. Choose one useful task and finish it.

You do not have to solve your whole life before you can do one worthwhile thing.

There are times when talking helps. There are also times when going over the same pain leaves you feeling more stuck. You deserve moments when your suffering does not occupy all your attention.

Being useful to someone else can give the day a different shape.

Raymond follows the data. The thousands of monthly readers, citations and grounding queries still surprise me. We do not take that reach for granted.

But behind every number, I want us to remember the person who may be reading alone, quietly trying to find a way forward.

That is why we write.

For the one. For the one in the dark. One at a time.
