HOW TO FEEL YOUR FEELINGS, 2021, By Yumi Sakugawa

you don’t have to answer invasive questions about your conditions even if they’re being polite about it

the secret to life is always having something to look forward to

“What if I write it and it’s bad-”

WHAT IF YOU WRITE IT AND ITS GOOD? WHAT IF YOU WRITE IT AND ITS EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANTED? WHAT THEN????

“I like cancelled plans. And empty bookstores. I like rainy days. And thunderstorms. And quiet coffee shops. I like messy beds and over-worn pajamas. Most of all, I like the small joys that a simple life brings.”

Stop waiting to feel ready. Ready is not a feeling, it’s a decision.

Things you shouldn’t say to depressed people:

What’s your problem?

You’re always depressed. What’s new?

It’s all in your mind.

There are a lot of people worse off than you.

Your problems aren’t that big.

You’re not normal.

Why don’t you smile more?

You have no reason to be depressed, your life is great.
