Ten. Breath in.
9. Sleep in. The world will still be there when you wake up. Hit the snooze button until you're ready. Remember that it's okay if you're not okay.
8. Get up. Let the day begin. Stretch your muscles, tired from carrying the weight of the world, and try again to shrug it off. Remember that it's okay to shuffle your feet as long as they are moving forward.
7. Stay in. Curl up on your bed with a good book or your favorite movie and let yourself forget the outside world. Remember that those nagging responsibilities will quietly fade as you let yourself escape.
6. Go out. Your friends know how to make you feel better. Let them. Walk around town at 2 A.M and spill secrets to them and to the night sky and your worries will begin to deflate like a tired helium balloon.
Remember that the stars will always listen.
5. Talk to others. Let down those walls you've built up from years of heartbreak and loneliness, even for just a second, to let someone in. They may not understand but they will listen and you will feel the satisfaction of being cared for. Remember that it's worth it.
4. Talk to yourself. You know yourself the best, and you know what is best for you. Listen to what your heart is telling you to do. Remember that it will never lead you in the wrong direction.
3. Forgive others. They don't know what it's like to lie awake all night waiting for the sun to rise, while also dreading the start of a new day. They do not know the pain behind your smile. Remember that they are trying their best.
2. Forgive yourself. For sleeping in too late, or shutting your friends out. For hiding inside yourself. For feeling defeated. Forgive yourself for every time you insult yourself. Remember that you, too, are trying your best.
1. Breath out.
