My dearest, buddies.

Sometimes the mind can be a cage, trapping us in a state of rage, thoughts and worries swirl around, anxiety and depression can be profound. The weight of the world can feel too much, leaving us feeling out of touch, with reality and with ourselves, we may feel like we’re on different shelves. But know that you are not alone, others have been in this zone, there is no shame in seeking help, or reaching out to someone else. It takes strength to admit when we’re not okay, to take a step back and find a way, to heal and recover our mental health, to regain control of ourselves. Remember to take care of your mind, for it is a precious gift you’ll find, and though it may take some time, you can find your way back to the sunshine.
