I am not mentally okay.

I thought of you, or more specifically,

I thought this would be something you'd enjoy.

This is some news you need to hear.

Here is some free therapy that I heard.

This made me cry.

Watch this cute animal & forget how the world is falling apart.

I'm not mentally okay

but I cannot say that to you

so instead I hide the things I cannot speak between the lines

of these memes sent for your entertainment.

A noncommittal event invitation.

My ADHD brain is experiencing mania and I'm consuming consuming media like

CRUNCHCRUNCHCRUNCH potato chips.

I am mentally unwell.

I am bedrotting and need attention.

I miss you but I don't know how to start a conversation anymore.

I want us to be closer but I'm terrified of being vulnerable first.

I'm a crow sending shiny things to your inbox

with no expectation you'll even see them

I am my mother's daughter - I leave her 317 Instagram reel messages to me unread because I feel too guilty and too avoidant to open them.

There is a chasm of things I have not yet figured out how to say.

I only know how to write them in my journal.

I don't know which of these things would be useful to voice.

I am mentally unwell.

I saw this video of two unlikely animal friends resting on each other & I

want us to have the same intimacy.
