Each year, I truly believe I’ve gotten better for good—that I can finally see the other side, where the grass is greener. The days feel brighter, and the tears come less often. But then, without warning, the black hole returns and pulls me back in.

Mental health is something we’re starting to talk about more—but that doesn’t always make it easier when you're the one struggling.

It’s okay to not be okay.
