Things will happen

Some things will happen no matter how hard you resist them.

The rain will fall.

The traffic will build.

People will disappoint you, confuse you, act how they want.

And when you’re depressed, it’s easy to take all of it personally.

To think it’s your fault.

To feel like life is against you.

But here’s the truth:

You don’t have to fight everything.

You don’t have to control the world to begin healing your own.

Let the rain fall.

Let people be who they are.

Let life do what it does.

And gently, quietly, focus on what you can change.

Your breath.

Your routine.

The way you speak to yourself.

Peace doesn’t come from controlling everything.

It comes from letting go of what you never needed to hold.

What’s one thing you're ready to stop fighting today?

Tell me below or just send a quiet heart if you're not ready to say it yet.

Also, if you're going through a tough time right now, I want you to know that I post daily mental health videos about how I recovered from depression and suicide back when I was a teen.

Tomorrow is a gift

When you’re depressed, tomorrow can feel like both a threat and a promise.

You might spend the whole day waiting for it—

hoping tomorrow will be easier

or that you’ll finally feel better

or that you’ll be strong enough to try again.

But in all that waiting,

you miss the small chances to live today.

You miss the quiet wins.

The soft light.

The fact that you got out of bed.

The moment you chose not to give up.

You don’t have to wait for tomorrow to begin healing.

You don’t have to wait to feel okay

before you let this day matter.

Even if it’s messy.

Even if it’s small.

Even if all you did was survive it.

That counts.

What’s one thing you can do today—just for today—that reminds you you’re still here?

When you're depressed, emotions can feel like your identity.

Sadness starts to sound like truth.

Hopelessness feels like who you are.

Pain becomes the only thing that seems real.

But emotions are not facts.

They are experiences.

They move through you like weather.

So feel it.

Let the sadness rise.

Let the anger burn.

Let the grief ache.

But don’t become it.

You are not your pain.

You are the one who feels it—

and the one who can let it go.

What’s one feeling you’ve been carrying lately that you’re ready to release?

Letting go

Letting go is one of the hardest things to do when you’re depressed.

You hold on to thoughts that hurt you. You replay conversations, regrets, and what-ifs. You carry old shame like it’s a part of who you are.

Sometimes the pain becomes part of your identity. It feels safer to cling to the familiar than to face the unknown without it.

But holding on is heavy. And the truth is, some of the things you’re holding were never meant to stay.

You don’t have to carry every mistake. You don’t have to keep proving how broken you are. You don’t have to keep punishing yourself just because you’ve been hurt.

Letting go doesn’t mean forgetting. It means loosening your grip on what’s hurting you. So you can breathe again. So you can heal.

It might not happen all at once. But maybe you can start with one thought. One memory. One moment of kindness toward yourself.

That’s how freedom begins.

What’s something you’re ready to let go of, even if it’s just for today?

Sour Cherries

Some feel they can tell an alter to their face if they are disliked or unwanted, or to favor some alters over others. I've been on the receiving end of both, and for those being chosen, it's all right. But to the ones shunned, it hurts. Really flippin’ hurts.

Alters are, roughly speaking, personified behavior traits. Individualized action, defense, and coping mechanisms, yeah, and stylized packets of one psyche, sure, but we’re each still a person. Our individual feelings are still very real.

I’m not an act. I am not just a behavior, or trait, or device. This is who I am, this is what I do, and I’m as much a person as anybody else. I’m not someone occasionally acting a certain way — I am me, being me, all the time.

Be first

When you’re deep in depression

When you’re deep in depression, life doesn’t feel like a blessing.

It feels like a burden.

Every day feels heavy.

Every thought feels like a weight.

But here’s something you might not have been told.

You don’t have to feel grateful to begin acting like you are.

Sometimes the smallest shift in how you show up changes everything.

You take one mindful breath.

You step outside and feel the air.

You choose to look at something—anything—with curiosity instead of pain.

And in that small moment, something inside begins to soften.

You are not faking it.

You are practicing aliveness.

And that practice is part of recovery.

When you start treating life like it matters—even just a little—it slowly starts to feel like it does.

You don’t have to wait for joy to come to you.

Sometimes, you lead the way.

What’s one small way you can act like life is a blessing today?

You’re being redirected.

Sometimes it feels like the world is shutting you out...

The relationship ends.

The opportunity disappears.

The people you trusted walk away.

And when you're in the middle of depression, every closed door feels personal. Like more proof that you're not enough. Like the universe is punishing you.

But what if that door closed because it was leading you somewhere you didn’t belong? What if that thing you were desperate to hold onto was never worthy of who you’re becoming?

You are allowed to stop fighting for what is trying to leave.

You are allowed to stop knocking.

You are allowed to trust that what didn’t open was never meant to carry you forward.

You haven’t been abandoned. You’re being redirected.

And where you're headed is worth far more than what you’ve left behind.

Has a closed door ever led you somewhere better?

~ Thanks to all. Thanks for all. ~

The best version of you

When you're living with depression, it's easy to fall into comparison.

You might look at other people and wonder why they seem to have it together while you're struggling just to make it through the day.

But their journey is not your journey.

Their healing is not your healing.

You are not behind. You are not broken. You are on your own path. And the only person you need to compete with is the version of you who almost gave up.

Let your focus be on showing up for yourself. On choosing healing. On choosing small acts of self-respect. On choosing life.

You don’t have to prove anything to anyone.

You don’t have to catch up.

You just have to keep going.

The best version of you is not someone who never struggled.

It’s the one who kept walking anyway.

What helps you stay focused on your own healing instead of comparing yourself to others?

Also, I regularly post mental health videos about how I recovered from depression and suicide back when I was a teen. If you or anyone you know is struggling with these issues and want help, click on one of the links below:

Let Yourself Grow

There are parts of your past you might try to hide. Choices you regret. Versions of yourself that you wish you could erase.

But those parts were never a waste. They were part of your becoming.

When a caterpillar transforms into a butterfly, it dissolves into something unrecognizable before it can become something new. It doesn't look back at the shell it broke through and feel ashamed. It just flies.

Your pain, your past, your darkest days—those were not signs that you were broken. They were signs that something inside you was trying to change.

You don't need to be ashamed of where you’ve been. You survived it. And now you’re becoming someone stronger, wiser, and more compassionate because of it.

You were never meant to stay the same.

Let yourself grow.

What part of your past are you learning to see as part of your transformation?

~ Thanks to all. Thanks for all. ~

Starting over

Starting over when you're living with depression can feel like failure.

It can feel like all the effort you made was for nothing. Like no matter how far you get, the darkness just pulls you back.

But you're not starting from nothing.

You're starting with everything you've learned. You know how the pain moves. You know how to ask for help, even if it's hard. You know which thoughts to take seriously and which ones are lying to you.

That is not weakness. That is growth.

Each time you choose to begin again, you're proving to yourself that healing is still possible. Not perfect. Not linear. But real.

You are not broken for needing to try again. You are learning how to stay with yourself.

So if today feels like a reset, take a breath and remember this.

You're not starting from scratch.

You're starting from experience.

And that means you’re already further than you think.

What helped you keep going when you felt like you had to start over?
