I love it when dogs try to help but the task at hand requires zero dogs so they just kinda stand in front of you and look serious.

middle aged men do this too

Focus on kind people. People who smile back. People who love animals. People who show up for you. People who have consistently cared for others and for you. There are still good people out there. We need to stop focusing so much on the ones that aren't. We need to let them go. We need to show up for those who love us, for those who love life, because they make life worth living. We need to focus less anxiously on our suffering and remember that there are still nice people out there, and we just need to reach out for them.

i never want to contribute to toxic positivity so i want to acknowledge that sometimes things just suck and there isn’t a bright side. the best thing you can do in those times is take care of yourself as much as possible. maybe that means just brushing your teeth, drinking some water or calling up a friend. you don’t always have to be grateful for where you are in life. sometimes you have to get through some hard shit first, but i know that you’re capable of doing it.
