That´s Me
I´m Damon Villnave, or as my friends like to call me, DJ. I was born in Syracuse, NY to my two wonderful parents Sara and Damon Villnave. I also have two sisters named Brenna and Grace. Family is the most important thing to me in this world. My main interest is playing golf. If it is a nice day in Central NY, you might find me on one of the local courses playing 18 with some friends, or by myself enjoying nature. I also love all water sports, including tubing, boating, and jet skiing
So Pretty Great Right
Yes my life is pretty great. I have everything that you could ask for. I got to hang out with friends, enjoy my high school career, and go out for a bite to eat. But then March 12th, 2020 came. This day, although I quite did not know it yet changed my life forever.
It´s Not Always as it seems
You would think that I would be pretty adaptable to this new change. I have a great family and a great support system. Although this is true, I still struggled with mental health issues during the pandemic. There was times where I was so depressed that it was hard to get out of bed in the morning. Doing the same routine without any sort of change becomes a mental battle. I have worked through my issues and now am ready to help others through there mental struggles.
So I interviewed Myself
I decided to partake in an exercise to talk about what was going on in my mind. I think that this is a great way to talk through your own problems. Watch the interview to see more about my experience through the pandemic.
