Hey there, Danny here, host of five Random Questions. This episode's a little different. No guest, no random questions. This time, just me talking directly to you.

Hopefully, if you've been listening to the show for a while, the questions, the guests, and the random answers have brought a smile to your face. That's always been my hope with five Random Questions, that it gives you moments of curiosity, laughter, and maybe even a bit of warmth.

But as much as this show is about fun and entertainment, it's also made by a human being, Me. And that human being knows the world can feel a little dark sometimes, especially right now.

While I hope the show brings a bit of light to your day, I also know what it's like when things feel heavy, when you're struggling, when the idea of being okay feels really far away. I've had my share of these moments with my own mental health journey, and I know what that wait can feel like.

So if you're listening and the world's been getting you down lately, I just want you to know you're not alone, truly.

And if you ever need someone to talk to, even if it's just to say hi or to share how you're doing, I'm always just an email away or you can find me online. I'm always happy to listen - because behind the mic, behind the random questions, is a person who cares about the people who make the show possible.

You. And if you do need help, you'll find some mental health and support resources in the show notes if you ever need them.

So take care of yourself, be gentle with yourself, and remember, the world's a little brighter because you're in it. I'll see you back here soon with more random questions, more laughter, and hopefully a few more smiles.

Until the next time, take care and keep asking those questions.
