I’d be lonely.
Friends would become acquaintances.
People don’t actually care how you’re doing even though they ask.
It’s not cool to care.
Saying no is good for you.
Coping skills are important.
Anxiety is real.
Honesty isn’t valued.
Depression will talk to you.
Loneliness can drown you.
Forever doesn’t really mean forever.
Politics do matter.
You do get to choose your family.
People are selfish.
The loudest voices win.
Self-harm isn’t only one type of behaviour.
Cynicism is a defence mechanism.
Depression and anxiety cloud your judgement and make you believe lies are your only reality.
Hope this finds you well,
