“If you know someone who’s depressed, please resolve never to ask them why. Depression isn’t a straightforward response to a bad situation; depression just is, like the weather. It’s hard to be a friend to someone who’s depressed but it is one of the kindest noblest and best things you will ever do.”
Stop what you’re doing right now. Go have three bites of that snack you’ve been craving. Go let yourself have three minutes of guilt-free indulgence. Three minutes of peace. … There.
