When I was struggling with my sadness earlier this year, I was actually experiencing a lot of distress and shame about how sad I felt. I hadn’t even realized it was happening, but I felt like I “shouldn’t be this sad”, and that “my sadness was a weakness”. None of that was true! But once I acknowledged this, I could actually address how I was tunneling myself into more sadness, and now I do a much better job of accepting my sadness as it is. 🌻 I hope this piece can help you in some way.

Zoos prevent extinction. This is why I support zoos. This is why the world should support zoos.

Zoos help animals by having breeding programs like those mentioned above, marine parks harm animals by treating them like circus animals and forcing them to do tricks under incredibly stressful conditions and breeding for profit not for saving the species.
