For a long time in my life,

Tokom dugog perioda mog života
00:15
I felt like I'd been living two different lives.
1
3101
4591
osećao sam se kao da živim
dva različita života.
dva različita života.
00:19
There's the life that everyone sees,
2
7692
3405
Jedan koji svi ostali vide,
00:23
and then there's the life that only I see.
3
11097
3707
i jedan koji vidim samo ja.
00:26
And in the life that everyone sees,
4
14804
2520
I u životu koji ostali vide,
00:29
who I am is a friend,
5
17324
2474
ja sam prijatelj,
00:31
a son, a brother,
6
19798
2555
sin, brat,
00:34
a stand-up comedian and a teenager.
7
22353
3626
stendap komičar i tinejdžer.
00:37
That's the life everyone sees.
8
25979
1841
To je život koji svi vide.
00:39
If you were to ask my friends and family to describe me,
9
27820
1526
Ako biste pitali moje prijatelje
i porodicu da me opišu,
i porodicu da me opišu,
00:41
that's what they would tell you.
10
29346
1839
to bi vam rekli.
00:43
And that's a huge part of me. That is who I am.
11
31185
1998
I to je ogroman deo mene.
To je ko sam ja.
To je ko sam ja.
00:45
And if you were to ask me to describe myself,
12
33183
2810
Ako biste me pitali
da opišem sebe,
da opišem sebe,
00:47
I'd probably say some of those same things.
13
35993
2922
verovatno bih vam rekao isto to.
00:50
And I wouldn't be lying,
14
38915
3561
I ne bih slagao,
00:54
but I wouldn't totally be telling you the truth, either,
15
42476
3530
ali ne bih ni potpuno govorio istinu.
00:58
because the truth is,
16
46006
1527
Zato što je istina
00:59
that's just the life everyone else sees.
17
47533
3172
da je to samo život
koji svi ostali vide.
koji svi ostali vide.
01:02
In the life that only I see, who I am,
18
50705
3763
U životu koji vidim
samo ja, ko sam ja,
samo ja, ko sam ja,
01:06
who I really am,
19
54468
1927
ko sam stvarno ja,
01:08
is someone who struggles intensely with depression.
20
56395
4435
je neko ko se intenzivno
bori sa depresijom.
bori sa depresijom.
01:12
I have for the last six years of my life,
21
60830
2677
Tokom proteklih šest godina
mog života
mog života
01:15
and I continue to every day.
22
63507
5119
do današnjeg dana.
01:20
Now, for someone who has never experienced depression
23
68626
2497
Za one koji nikada nisu
iskusili depresiju
iskusili depresiju
01:23
or doesn't really know what that means,
24
71123
1202
ili ni ne znaju šta to znači,
01:24
that might surprise them to hear,
25
72325
1383
to bi moglo da bude iznenađujuće,
01:25
because there's this pretty popular misconception
26
73708
1905
jer postoji veoma popularno
pogrešno shvatanje
pogrešno shvatanje
01:27
that depression is just being sad
27
75613
2747
da je depresija isto što i biti tužan
01:30
when something in your life goes wrong,
28
78360
2488
kada vam se desi
nešto loše u životu,
nešto loše u životu,
01:32
when you break up with your girlfriend,
29
80848
1642
kada raskinete sa devojkom,
01:34
when you lose a loved one,
30
82490
1391
kada izgubite voljenu osobu,
01:35
when you don't get the job you wanted.
31
83881
1751
kada ne dobijete
posao koji ste želeli.
posao koji ste želeli.
01:37
But that's sadness. That's a natural thing.
32
85632
1987
Ali to je tuga.
To je prirodna stvar.
To je prirodna stvar.
01:39
That's a natural human emotion.
33
87619
1912
To je prirodno ljudsko osećanje.
01:41
Real depression isn't being sad
34
89531
4198
Prava depresija nije tugovanje
01:45
when something in your life goes wrong.
35
93729
2629
kada nešto u vašem životu
krene naopako.
krene naopako.
01:48
Real depression is being sad
36
96358
1786
Prava depresija je tugovanje
01:50
when everything in your life is going right.
37
98144
3269
kada se sve u vašem životu
odvija kako treba.
odvija kako treba.
01:53
That's real depression, and that's what I suffer from.
38
101413
2485
To je prava depresija,
i ja patim od nje.
i ja patim od nje.
01:55
And to be totally honest,
39
103898
2125
I da budem potpuno iskren,
01:58
that's hard for me to stand up here and say.
40
106023
2814
teško mi je da stanem ovde
i to kažem.
i to kažem.
02:00
It's hard for me to talk about,
41
108837
1721
Teško mi je da pričam o tome,
02:02
and it seems to be hard for everyone to talk about,
42
110558
2763
i izgleda da je svima
teško da pričaju o tome,
teško da pričaju o tome,
02:05
so much so that no one's talking about it.
43
113321
2368
toliko da niko to ne čini.
02:07
And no one's talking about depression, but we need to be,
44
115689
2394
I niko ne priča o depresiji,
ali bismo morali
ali bismo morali
02:10
because right now it's a massive problem.
45
118083
3742
jer je trenutno ogroman problem.
02:13
It's a massive problem.
46
121825
1670
To je ogroman problem.
02:15
But we don't see it on social media, right?
47
123495
1802
Ali ne vidimo ga
na socijalnim mrežama, zar ne?
na socijalnim mrežama, zar ne?
02:17
We don't see it on Facebook. We don't see it on Twitter.
48
125297
2088
Ne vidimo ga na Fejsbuku.
Ne vidimo ga na Tviteru.
Ne vidimo ga na Tviteru.
02:19
We don't see it on the news, because it's not happy,
49
127385
1822
Ne vidimo ga u vestima,
jer nije lep,
jer nije lep,
02:21
it's not fun, it's not light.
50
129207
1629
nije srećan, nije zabavan.
02:22
And so because we don't see it, we don't see the severity of it.
51
130836
3595
I zbog toga što ga ne vidimo,
ne uočavamo njegovu ozbiljnost.
ne uočavamo njegovu ozbiljnost.
02:26
But the severity of it and the seriousness of it is this:
52
134431
3759
Ali njegova ozbiljnost
leži u ovome:
leži u ovome:
02:30
every 30 seconds,
53
138190
1723
svakih 30 sekundi,
02:31
every 30 seconds, somewhere,
54
139913
2204
svakih 30 sekundi, negde,
02:34
someone in the world takes their own life
55
142117
2193
neko na svetu oduzme sebi život
02:36
because of depression,
56
144310
1077
zbog depresije,
02:37
and it might be two blocks away, it might be two countries away,
57
145387
2240
i neka je to dva bloka odavde,
dve zemlje odavde,
dve zemlje odavde,
02:39
it might be two continents away, but it's happening,
58
147627
1530
dva kontinenta odavde,
ali se ipak dešava,
ali se ipak dešava,
02:41
and it's happening every single day.
59
149157
2570
i dešava se svakog dana.
02:43
And we have a tendency, as a society,
60
151727
2964
Mi kao društvo imamo običaj
02:46
to look at that and go, "So what?"
61
154691
5246
da se osvrnemo na to
i kažemo: "Pa šta?"
i kažemo: "Pa šta?"
02:51
So what? We look at that, and we go, "That's your problem.
62
159937
4655
Pa šta? Posmatramo ga
i kažemo: "To je tvoj problem.
i kažemo: "To je tvoj problem.
02:56
That's their problem."
63
164592
2403
To je njihov problem."
02:58
We say we're sad and we say we're sorry,
64
166995
1852
Kažemo da smo tužni
i da nam je žao,
i da nam je žao,
03:00
but we also say, "So what?"
65
168847
1377
ali takođe kažemo i: "Pa šta?"
03:02
Well, two years ago it was my problem,
66
170224
4683
Pre dve godine
to je bio moj problem,
to je bio moj problem,
03:06
because I sat on the edge of my bed
67
174907
4057
jer sam sedeo na ivici svog kreveta,
03:10
where I'd sat a million times before
68
178964
3360
na istom mestu gde sam sedeo
milion puta pre toga,
milion puta pre toga,
03:14
and I was suicidal.
69
182324
2816
i želeo sam da se ubijem.
03:17
I was suicidal, and if you were to look at my life on the surface,
70
185140
3926
Želeo sam da se ubijem,
i ako biste posmatrali moj život spolja,
i ako biste posmatrali moj život spolja,
03:21
you wouldn't see a kid who was suicidal.
71
189066
2242
ne biste videli dete
koje je to želelo.
koje je to želelo.
03:23
You'd see a kid who was the captain of his basketball team,
72
191308
2116
Videli biste dete koje je
kapiten košarkaškog tima,
kapiten košarkaškog tima,
03:25
the drama and theater student of the year,
73
193424
2061
pozorišnog glumca godine,
03:27
the English student of the year,
74
195485
959
najboljeg učenika iz engleskog,
03:28
someone who was consistently on the honor roll
75
196444
1828
nekoga ko je stalno bio nagrađivan
03:30
and consistently at every party.
76
198272
3673
i bio prisutan na svim žurkama.
03:33
So you would say I wasn't depressed, you would say
77
201945
1641
Rekli biste da nisam depresivan,
03:35
I wasn't suicidal, but you would be wrong.
78
203586
2711
da nisam suicidan
i ne biste bili u pravu.
i ne biste bili u pravu.
03:38
You would be wrong. So I sat there that night
79
206297
1439
Pogrešili biste.
Sedeo sam tako te noći
Sedeo sam tako te noći
03:39
beside a bottle of pills with a pen and paper in my hand
80
207736
4038
pored bočice pilula,
sa olovkom i papirom u ruci
sa olovkom i papirom u ruci
03:43
and I thought about taking my own life
81
211774
1988
razmišljajući da oduzmem sebi život
03:45
and I came this close to doing it.
82
213762
3352
i bio sam tako blizu.
03:49
I came this close to doing it.
83
217114
1682
Bio sam toliko blizu da to učinim.
03:50
And I didn't, so that makes me one of the lucky ones,
84
218796
3128
Ali nisam, što me čini
jednim od srećnika,
jednim od srećnika,
03:53
one of the people who gets to step out on the ledge
85
221924
2135
jednim od onih koji
dođu do ivice provalije,
dođu do ivice provalije,
03:56
and look down but not jump,
86
224059
2261
pogledaju dole i ne skoče,
03:58
one of the lucky ones who survives.
87
226320
2005
jednim od srećnika koji prežive.
04:00
Well, I survived, and that just leaves me with my story,
88
228325
2397
Preživeo sam
i ostao sa svojom pričom,
i ostao sa svojom pričom,
04:02
and my story is this:
89
230722
2405
pričom koja ide ovako:
04:05
In four simple words, I suffer from depression.
90
233127
3353
U četiri proste reči -
ja bolujem od depresije.
ja bolujem od depresije.
04:08
I suffer from depression,
91
236480
2430
Ja bolujem od depresije,
04:10
and for a long time, I think,
92
238910
7320
i tokom dugog perioda sam, verujem,
04:18
I was living two totally different lives,
93
246230
2596
živeo dva potpuno različita života,
04:20
where one person was always afraid of the other.
94
248826
1861
gde se jedna osoba
uvek plašila druge.
uvek plašila druge.
04:22
I was afraid that people would see me for who I really was,
95
250687
2099
Plašio sam se da će ljudi
otkriti kakav sam zaista,
otkriti kakav sam zaista,
04:24
that I wasn't the perfect, popular kid in high school everyone thought I was,
96
252786
3242
da nisam savršeno, popularno dete
u srednjoj školi, kao što su svi mislili,
u srednjoj školi, kao što su svi mislili,
04:28
that beneath my smile, there was struggle,
97
256028
2425
ispod mog osmeha krila se borba,
04:30
and beneath my light, there was dark,
98
258453
1963
ispod svetla, krila se tama,
04:32
and beneath my big personality just hid even bigger pain.
99
260416
4377
ispod mog velikog karaktera,
krio se još veći bol.
krio se još veći bol.
04:36
See, some people might fear girls not liking them back.
100
264793
2637
Vidite, neki ljudi se plaše
da se neće dopasti devojkama.
da se neće dopasti devojkama.
04:39
Some people might fear sharks. Some people might fear death.
101
267430
2089
Neki ljudi se plaše ajkula.
Neki smrti.
Neki smrti.
04:41
But for me, for a large part of my life, I feared myself.
102
269519
4693
A ja sam se veliku većinu
svog života plašio sebe.
svog života plašio sebe.
04:46
I feared my truth, I feared my honesty, I feared my vulnerability,
103
274212
2692
Plašio sam se svoje istine,
svog poštenja, svoje ranjivosti,
svog poštenja, svoje ranjivosti,
04:48
and that fear made me feel
104
276904
2222
i taj strah je činio da se osećam
04:51
like I was forced into a corner,
105
279126
2357
kao da sam sateran u ćošak,
04:53
like I was forced into a corner and there was only one way out,
106
281483
3030
kao da sam sateran u ćošak
i imam samo jedan izlaz
i imam samo jedan izlaz
04:56
and so I thought about that way every single day.
107
284513
3793
o kome sam razmišljao
svakog dana.
svakog dana.
05:00
I thought about it every single day,
108
288306
1447
Mislio sam o tome
svakog mogućeg dana
svakog mogućeg dana
05:01
and if I'm being totally honest, standing here
109
289753
1671
i da budem potpuno iskren,
stojeći ovde
stojeći ovde
05:03
I've thought about it again since, because that's the sickness,
110
291424
3373
pomislio sam na to još jednom,
jer to je bolest,
jer to je bolest,
05:06
that's the struggle, that's depression,
111
294797
1934
to je borba, to je depresija,
05:08
and depression isn't chicken pox.
112
296731
1219
a depresija nisu boginje.
05:09
You don't beat it once and it's gone forever.
113
297950
1718
Ne preležite je jednom
i za sva vremena.
i za sva vremena.
05:11
It's something you live with. It's something you live in.
114
299668
2763
To je nešto sa čime se živi.
U čemu se živi.
U čemu se živi.
05:14
It's the roommate you can't kick out. It's the voice you can't ignore.
115
302431
3572
To je cimer koga ne možete da isterate.
To je glas koji ne možete da ignorišete.
To je glas koji ne možete da ignorišete.
05:18
It's the feelings you can't seem to escape,
116
306003
2261
To su osećanja od kojih
ne možete da pobegnete,
ne možete da pobegnete,
05:20
the scariest part is that after a while,
117
308264
5073
gde je najstrašniji deo
da posle nekog vremena,
da posle nekog vremena,
05:25
you become numb to it. It becomes normal for you,
118
313337
2880
oguglate na to.
To vam postaje normalno,
To vam postaje normalno,
05:28
and what you really fear the most
119
316217
2287
i ono čega se zaista najviše plašite
05:30
isn't the suffering inside of you.
120
318504
2856
nije patnja u vama.
05:33
It's the stigma inside of others,
121
321360
1516
To je beleg od strane drugih,
05:34
it's the shame, it's the embarrassment,
122
322876
2281
to je sramota, stid,
05:37
it's the disapproving look on a friend's face,
123
325157
2453
pogled neodobravanja
na licu prijatelja,
na licu prijatelja,
05:39
it's the whispers in the hallway that you're weak,
124
327610
3464
šapati iza leđa dok prolazite,
da ste slabi,
da ste slabi,
05:43
it's the comments that you're crazy.
125
331074
1401
komentari da ste ludi.
05:44
That's what keeps you from getting help.
126
332475
2100
To je ono što vas sprečava
da zatražite pomoć.
da zatražite pomoć.
05:46
That's what makes you hold it in and hide it.
127
334575
2994
To vas tera da je čuvate i krijete.
05:49
It's the stigma. So you hold it in and you hide it,
128
337569
2335
To je stigma.
I tako je čuvate i krijete,
I tako je čuvate i krijete,
05:51
and you hold it in and you hide it,
129
339904
1862
i čuvate i krijete,
05:53
and even though it's keeping you in bed every day
130
341766
1676
i iako vas drži prikovanim
za krevet svakog dana,
za krevet svakog dana,
05:55
and it's making your life feel empty no matter how much you try and fill it,
131
343442
2940
i čini da se osećate kao da vam je život
prazan, bez obzira koliko se trudite,
prazan, bez obzira koliko se trudite,
05:58
you hide it, because the stigma in our society
132
346382
2163
krijete je, jer je osuda
u našem društvu
u našem društvu
06:00
around depression is very real.
133
348545
2915
sveopšte prisutna.
06:03
It's very real, and if you think that it isn't, ask yourself this:
134
351460
3202
Jako stvarna, i ukoliko mislite
da nije, zapitajte se sledeće:
da nije, zapitajte se sledeće:
06:06
Would you rather make your next Facebook status
135
354662
1809
Da li biste radije postavili
svoj sledeći Fejsbuk status
svoj sledeći Fejsbuk status
06:08
say you're having a tough time getting out of bed
136
356471
1746
da imate problem
da ustanete iz kreveta
da ustanete iz kreveta
06:10
because you hurt your back
137
358217
2149
zato što ste povredili leđa
06:12
or you're having a tough time getting out of bed every morning
138
360366
1992
ili vam je teško da svakog jutra
ustanete iz kreveta
ustanete iz kreveta
06:14
because you're depressed?
139
362358
2100
jer ste u depresiji?
06:16
That's the stigma, because unfortunately,
140
364458
2284
To je stigma, jer nažalost
06:18
we live in a world where if you break your arm,
141
366742
2468
živimo u svetu u kom
ako slomite ruku,
ako slomite ruku,
06:21
everyone runs over to sign your cast,
142
369210
2674
svako će doći da vam se
potpiše na gips,
potpiše na gips,
06:23
but if you tell people you're depressed, everyone runs the other way.
143
371899
2801
ali ako kažete ljudima da ste depresivni,
svi beže od vas.
svi beže od vas.
06:26
That's the stigma.
144
374700
2500
To je stigma.
06:29
We are so, so, so accepting of any body part breaking down
145
377200
4966
Mi toliko prihvatamo
sve bolesti našeg tela
sve bolesti našeg tela
06:34
other than our brains. And that's ignorance.
146
382166
3102
osim bolesti mozga.
A to je neznanje.
A to je neznanje.
06:37
That's pure ignorance, and that ignorance has created
147
385268
2012
To je čisto neznanje,
i to neznanje je stvorilo
i to neznanje je stvorilo
06:39
a world that doesn't understand depression,
148
387280
1564
svet koji ne razume depresiju,
06:40
that doesn't understand mental health.
149
388844
2506
koji ne razume mentalno zdravlje.
06:43
And that's ironic to me, because depression
150
391350
1953
To je ironično po mom mišljenju,
zato što je depresija
zato što je depresija
06:45
is one of the best documented problems we have in the world,
151
393303
2510
jedan od najbolje dokumentovanih
problema na svetu,
problema na svetu,
06:47
yet it's one of the least discussed.
152
395813
2045
a ipak jedan
od najmanje diskutovanih.
od najmanje diskutovanih.
06:49
We just push it aside and put it in a corner
153
397858
2436
Mi je samo guramo pod tepih
06:52
and pretend it's not there and hope it'll fix itself.
154
400294
3587
i pretvaramo se da ne postoji nadajući se
da će se srediti sama od sebe.
da će se srediti sama od sebe.
06:55
Well, it won't. It hasn't, and it's not going to,
155
403881
3342
E pa, neće.
Nije, niti će,
Nije, niti će,
06:59
because that's wishful thinking,
156
407223
1891
jer je to pusta želja,
07:01
and wishful thinking isn't a game plan, it's procrastination,
157
409114
2773
a pusta želja nije plan,
to je odlaganje,
to je odlaganje,
07:03
and we can't procrastinate on something this important.
158
411887
4929
i ne možemo više odlagati
tako bitne stvari.
tako bitne stvari.
07:08
The first step in solving any problem
159
416816
3391
Prvi korak u rešavanju
bilo kog problema
bilo kog problema
07:12
is recognizing there is one.
160
420207
1483
je priznavanje da problem postoji.
07:13
Well, we haven't done that, so we can't really expect
161
421690
2758
Mi to nismo uradili
i ne možemo da očekujemo
i ne možemo da očekujemo
07:16
to find an answer when we're still afraid of the question.
162
424448
3185
da ćemo naći rešenje, ako se još uvek
plašimo da postavimo pitanje.
plašimo da postavimo pitanje.
07:19
And I don't know what the solution is.
163
427633
3779
Ja ne znam koje je rešenje.
07:23
I wish I did, but I don't -- but I think,
164
431412
2461
Želeo bih da znam,
ali ne znam. Ali smatram
ali ne znam. Ali smatram
07:25
I think it has to start here.
165
433873
2008
da mora da počne odavde.
07:27
It has to start with me, it has to start with you,
166
435881
2399
Mora da počne od mene, od vas,
07:30
it has to start with the people who are suffering,
167
438280
3418
od ljudi koji pate,
07:33
the ones who are hidden in the shadows.
168
441698
1417
onih koji su skriveni u senci.
07:35
We need to speak up and shatter the silence.
169
443115
2000
Moramo da progovorimo
i razbijemo tišinu.
i razbijemo tišinu.
07:37
We need to be the ones who are brave for what we believe in,
170
445115
2319
Moramo da budemo hrabri
zbog onoga u šta verujemo,
zbog onoga u šta verujemo,
07:39
because if there's one thing that I've come to realize,
171
447434
3175
jer ako sam nešto shvatio,
07:42
if there's one thing that I see as the biggest problem,
172
450609
3576
ako postoji jedna stvar
koju vidim kao najveći problem,
koju vidim kao najveći problem,
07:46
it's not in building a world
173
454185
3039
to nije građenje sveta
07:49
where we eliminate the ignorance of others.
174
457224
3749
gde eliminišemo neznanje drugih.
07:52
It's in building a world where we teach the acceptance of ourselves,
175
460973
3286
Trebalo bi graditi svet
gde se učimo prihvatanju sebe,
gde se učimo prihvatanju sebe,
07:56
where we're okay with who we are,
176
464259
1201
gde smo zadovoljni sa onim što smo
07:57
because when we get honest,
177
465460
1500
jer kada se otvorimo
07:58
we see that we all struggle and we all suffer.
178
466960
2796
vidimo da se svi borimo i svi patimo.
08:01
Whether it's with this, whether it's with something else,
179
469756
1952
Da li zbog ovoga ili zbog onoga,
08:03
we all know what it is to hurt.
180
471708
2827
svi znamo kako je kad tugujemo.
08:06
We all know what it is to have pain in our heart,
181
474535
1838
Svi znamo kako je imati
bol u našim srcima,
bol u našim srcima,
08:08
and we all know how important it is to heal.
182
476373
2694
i koliko je neophodno da zaceli.
08:11
But right now, depression is society's deep cut
183
479067
3394
Ali trenutno, depresija je
duboka rana društva
duboka rana društva
08:14
that we're content to put a Band-Aid over and pretend it's not there.
184
482461
2561
preko koje ćemo staviti flaster
i pretvarati se da ne postoji.
i pretvarati se da ne postoji.
08:17
Well, it is there. It is there, and you know what? It's okay.
185
485022
4504
E pa, tu je. Tu je i znate šta?
To je okej.
To je okej.
08:21
Depression is okay. If you're going through it, know that you're okay.
186
489526
3811
Depresija je okej. Ako prolazite
kroz nju, znajte da ste okej.
kroz nju, znajte da ste okej.
08:25
And know that you're sick, you're not weak,
187
493337
2662
Znajte da ste bolesni, a ne slabi,
08:27
and it's an issue, not an identity,
188
495999
1936
da je problem, a ne identitet,
08:29
because when you get past the fear and the ridicule
189
497935
2753
zato što kada prevaziđete
strah od ismevanja
strah od ismevanja
08:32
and the judgment and the stigma of others,
190
500688
1797
i osuđivanja i obeležavanja
od strane drugih,
od strane drugih,
08:34
you can see depression for what it really is,
191
502485
2986
videćete šta ona zapravo jeste,
08:37
and that's just a part of life,
192
505471
2239
deo života,
08:39
just a part of life, and as much as I hate,
193
507710
3728
samo deo života.
I ma koliko mrzeo,
I ma koliko mrzeo,
08:43
as much as I hate some of the places,
194
511438
2479
zaista mrzeo neka mesta,
08:45
some of the parts of my life depression has dragged me down to,
195
513917
3096
neke delove života u koje
me je depresija povukla,
me je depresija povukla,
08:49
in a lot of ways I'm grateful for it.
196
517013
2535
na mnogo načina
sam zahvalan zbog nje.
sam zahvalan zbog nje.
08:51
Because yeah, it's put me in the valleys,
197
519548
1812
Jer da, bacala me je u doline,
08:53
but only to show me there's peaks,
198
521360
1432
ali samo da bi mi pokazala vrhove,
08:54
and yeah it's dragged me through the dark
199
522792
1599
vukla me je kroz mrak,
08:56
but only to remind me there is light.
200
524391
2586
da bi me podsetila
da postoji svetlost.
da postoji svetlost.
08:58
My pain, more than anything in 19 years on this planet,
201
526977
3743
Moj bol, više nego bilo šta drugo
za 19 godina na ovoj planeti,
za 19 godina na ovoj planeti,
09:02
has given me perspective, and my hurt,
202
530720
2259
mi je dao perspektivu, i moj bol,
09:04
my hurt has forced me to have hope,
203
532979
2495
moj bol me je naterao da imam nadu,
09:07
have hope and to have faith, faith in myself,
204
535474
2531
da imam nadu, veru, veru u sebe,
09:10
faith in others, faith that it can get better,
205
538005
2545
veru u druge, veru da će biti bolje,
09:12
that we can change this, that we can speak up
206
540550
2078
da možemo da promenimo ovo,
da progovorimo
da progovorimo
09:14
and speak out and fight back against ignorance,
207
542628
2758
jasno i glasno i borimo se
protiv neznanja,
protiv neznanja,
09:17
fight back against intolerance,
208
545386
2589
protiv netolerancije,
09:19
and more than anything,
209
547975
2015
i pre svega
09:21
learn to love ourselves,
210
549990
2726
naučimo da volimo sebe,
09:24
learn to accept ourselves for who we are,
211
552716
2179
prihvatimo sebe kakvim smo,
09:26
the people we are, not the people the world wants us to be.
212
554895
4095
kakvi smo, ne kakvima bi svet
želeo da budemo.
želeo da budemo.
09:30
Because the world I believe in is one
213
558990
1612
Zato što je svet u koji verujem onaj
09:32
where embracing your light doesn't mean ignoring your dark.
214
560602
4168
gde prihvatanje svetlosti
ne znači ignorisanje mraka.
ne znači ignorisanje mraka.
09:36
The world I believe in is one where we're measured
215
564770
2081
Svet u koji verujem je onaj
u kome se merimo
u kome se merimo
09:38
by our ability to overcome adversities, not avoid them.
216
566851
4516
po našoj sposobnosti da prevaziđemo
nevolje, ne da ih izbegavamo.
nevolje, ne da ih izbegavamo.
09:43
The world I believe in is one where I can look someone in the eye
217
571367
4224
Svet u koji verujem je onaj gde mogu
da pogledam bilo koga u oči
da pogledam bilo koga u oči
09:47
and say, "I'm going through hell,"
218
575591
1762
i kažem: "Prolazim kroz pakao",
09:49
and they can look back at me and go, "Me too," and that's okay,
219
577353
3577
i oni me pogledaju i kažu:
"I ja", i to je okej,
"I ja", i to je okej,
09:52
and it's okay because depression is okay. We're people.
220
580930
3702
jer je depresija okej.
Mi smo ljudi.
Mi smo ljudi.
09:56
We're people, and we struggle and we suffer
221
584632
2430
Mi smo ljudi i borimo se i patimo
09:59
and we bleed and we cry, and if you think that true strength
222
587062
2728
i krvarimo i plačemo,
i ako mislite da je prava snaga
i ako mislite da je prava snaga
10:01
means never showing any weakness, then I'm here
223
589790
2119
nikad ne pokazivati svoje slabosti,
10:03
to tell you you're wrong.
224
591909
3246
tu sam da vam kažem da grešite.
10:07
You're wrong, because it's the opposite.
225
595155
3897
Grešite, jer je sasvim suprotno.
10:11
We're people, and we have problems.
226
599052
2684
Mi smo ljudska bića i imamo probleme.
10:13
We're not perfect, and that's okay.
227
601736
1671
Nismo savršeni i to je okej.
10:15
So we need to stop the ignorance,
228
603407
2214
Moramo da zaustavimo neznanje,
10:17
stop the intolerance, stop the stigma,
229
605621
3078
netoleranciju, obeležavanje,
10:20
and stop the silence, and we need to take away the taboos,
230
608699
4574
tišinu, prekinemo tabue,
10:25
take a look at the truth, and start talking,
231
613273
4539
pogledamo istini u oči
i počnemo da pričamo
i počnemo da pričamo
10:29
because the only way we're going to beat a problem
232
617812
4724
jer jedini način da pobedimo problem
10:34
that people are battling alone
233
622536
3334
sa kojim se ljudi bore sami
10:37
is by standing strong together,
234
625870
3763
je da se ujedinimo
10:41
by standing strong together.
235
629633
3764
i stanemo jedni uz druge.
10:45
And I believe that we can.
236
633397
2979
Ja verujem da mi to možemo.
10:48
I believe that we can. Thank you guys so much.
237
636376
1919
Verujem da možemo.
Hvala vam mnogo.
Hvala vam mnogo.
10:50
This is a dream come true. Thank you. (Applause)
238
638295
2407
Ovo je ostvarenje sna.
Hvala. (Aplauz)
Hvala. (Aplauz)
10:52
Thank you. (Applause)

Hvala.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Kevin Breel - Comedian, activistWriter, comic and mental health activist Kevin Breel speaks up about depression.
Why you should listen
As a teenager, Kevin Breel almost took his own life. His story, so powerfully told in his viral TEDxYouth Talk, gives voice to an often silent struggle and offers a message of hope.
As Jack Knox writes in the Times Colonist :
His story, abbreviated, is this: He grew up in Cadboro Bay, a popular kid, fun at parties, English and drama awards, always on the honour roll, captain of the Lambrick Park basketball team when it was ranked No. 1 in the province. Under it all was the other him, the kid who plunged into depression at age 13 when his best friend died in a car crash.
Breel now speaks out about his own depression, with a mission of helping kids his age realize they're not alone.
