This post is for anyone like me, who was struggling with sadness over the start of the winter, or just feels like they’ve been more down than usual. When you’re stuck in the dark days it’s hard to remember that they don’t last forever. It sounds cliche. The last thing you want to hear when you’re going through a hard time is “it’ll get better one day.” But it is SO true. Don’t think that this feeling is somehow your fault, or that the sadness means you’re doing something wrong. You are just adapting and changing. That hurts, but it does get better.

I want you to remember that you are not broken. Remember that there is nothing wrong with you. You are human and this is how you are supposed to feel.
