The Simple Things That Help Me To Breathe

Listening to soft music that doesn't burst my eardrums and
has lyrics that doesn't suck me into a depressed state of mind.
(Listen to the sad ones another day.)

Wearing bright colours also helps.
(Leave your black ones in the wardrobe for a day;
see if the hue of rainbows bring out the colour of your tired eyes)

Talking to my friends about anything.
(You don't even need to talk about the feelings that you're drowning in.)

Watching a TV show.
(Have your heart broken by how amazing a fictional character is,
instead of thinking about your own feelings for a good while)

Sitting outside in the sun.
(even if you don't feel like getting out of bed that day.
Try it for 10 minutes.
Then for 5 more minutes,
and another after that.)

Eating a piece of chocolate.
(You deserve it, even if you think you don't.)
