“no Matter How Badly You Think You’re Doing It, Someone Else Has Done It A Lot Worse And Been Fine”

i hope this reaches the target audience:

hold on for one more night, one more day. appreciate all the little things keeping you connected to the world. tell yourself the end can wait one more day. see how you feel tomorrow. see if you can keep going a while longer.

Your sign to pick up an offline hobby for 2025! The best decision I made in 2024 was picking up a paintbrush again for the first time in my adult life... I'm still learning how to paint properly, but doing something poorly is better than not doing it at all :')

Getting out of a deep sadness is never easy, but I know we can make it out. I've been struggling a lot with sadness this past month, but I've been able to slowly step out of it. :' ) Take lots of rest, go easy on yourself, and the light will come back. Sending lots of warmth out to you all- the sadness never lasts forever.
