depression is a real thing

where you have to celebrate the small victories

you got out of bed

you made breakfast – and not just cereal straight out of the box, but real breakfast

you fed the cats

you fetched the mail

you even managed to wash the dishes – and better, you didn’t break anything

and sometimes…that’s just the best you can do

it is LITERALLY the best you can do

THE BEST

so, celebrate being the best

at least a little

before you go back to bed
