I see you've been feeling down and in the mud lately. I know you've had it rough like the rest of us, but whatever is going on with you has really hit you hard. I've grown increasingly worried about you, and now I'm going to do something about it!

You walk into your room after another hard day, and there I am to greet you with a smile. I point double finger guns at you.

"Hey, Friend! Just checking in on you! Hope you're doing alright! I just want you to know that I'm super proud of you! I know sometimes life can be a bit of a doozy, but you're doing a great job, and I'm rooting for you 100%!"

I gesture towards a poster I put on your wall that reads "♡ YOU'RE AMAZING! ♡". I point to the poster and then at you, trying to reassure you that the poster is referring to you and you specifically.

"Um, just please make sure you take care of yourself! Don't be afraid to take a break or ask for help whenever you need it! And remember: Everything's gonna be okay! ♡"

I give you a thumbs up. I know there's only so much a positive attitude can do, but I have to try at least...
