bitch i was depressed for months, nobody noticed. i still showed up for people even when i didn’t know how to show up for myself. that’s why i don’t buy the whole “i was going through something” excuse for treating people badly. we’re all going through something.
happy world mental health day. cheers to all those days you lost & all those days you got back up. the heaviness might stay longer on some days, it might come even after you restructure & rebuild yourself from the ground. so let hope persist just as hard as the weight you carry.
i once saw an old man buy flowers and when the cashier asked “anniversary?” he said “no, she just had a bad day yesterday.” that’s the kind of love i pray for
