One night, I was feeling very down. I wasn’t thinking of dying, but I tried to write out a list of things I had to live for to help me feel better. I kept getting stuck, so I asked a friend who runs a recovery blog on Tumblr for advice. She told me to add simple things. Small things like summer and ice cream because it was all stuff to live for. I did as she said and the list got very long. Some of these may be repetitive because they fit under something else, but that simply means it’s something specific I like. Anything with a happy face is something I especially like. 🙂
