Weekly Mixtape:
Casey Mullooly: Help “I’ll end with this: even when things seem fine, check on people. Even when you’re scared to get the real answers, check on people. Even when it appears like they have everything together, check on people. Even if you feel like you’re bothering someone, check on people. Even if they don’t ask you to, check on people. And sometimes, you’re going to be the person who needs checking in on. So check in on yourself too. And if you ever feel like it’s too much, I hope you’ll ask for help.”
