To me, songs are kind of like bookmarks. Have you ever listened to a song that you haven’t heard in a while, and all of a sudden, all the memories of that time period come back, and you remember what your life used to be like. They’re like milestones in your life.

"You're not the main character" also applies to thinking that you're so uniquely horrible that everyone you meet is deeply invested in judging and hating you. That's just as much of a cognitive distortion as believing that you're the center of everyone's admiration. I promise you that other people got their own lives to live and their own struggles and flaws to cope with.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but if you cancel/postpone an event or activity because you’re not feeling up to it physically or emotionally, and then you feel better after resting/not doing the thing, this doesn’t mean that you were lying, or that you actually were well enough. You just gave yourself the time you needed to rest and recover. Look after yourselves.
