When I was in my deepest darkest depression hole this summer, the people around me kept saying things that didn’t make sense in my brain. One by one, my closest friends and family all started encouraging me to do more of whatever I wanted to do. Sometimes it was on a small scale – I would call my dad in a panic and he would encourage me to just spend the day doing whatever felt okay, whether it was watching Disney films or going for a walk. Other times they would try to get me to engage positively with the future by asking where I wanted to travel in the world? What shows did I still want to see? What activities did I want to try?
This REALLY spoke to me today. My constant factoring others in and not even considering what I might want is really tying me in knots at the moment. Your bravery is my inspiration!
Dang just had this conversation today. What do I want, if I can get past the fear of not being "safe", if I can move past just being "okay". Glad you are figuring that out and hopeful that means I can figure it out for myself as well.
I love how honest these newsletters are and I find them so relatable, thank you for sharing them with us!

Thank you. I just said no to a thing that has weighed on me for days. I had to listen to that voice, which is so hard sometimes!
