No Comparison
Today a question was raised about what brought me joy and try as I might I couldn’t think of a truthful answer. Here, right in the middle of the most joyous time of the year, I could not think of a single thing that brings me joy. This left me reeling for a few hours trying to figure out how I got here. I can’t say that I feel particularly unhappy, so why in the world wouldn’t there be something I could pick off the top of my head that makes me feel joyful?

Mental illness is not an aesthetic for social media.
So discovering new things on social media can be a pleasant experience. However, finding things that are upsetting is the norm, and sometimes it can be on an insane level. I've discovered a whole niche of people who romanticize mental illness. Don't get me wrong; there are real stories of people struggling with it, and we need to read them. Social media has been a powerful tool for people with mental illness to connect and expand the conversation around mental health. People have posted raw, honest stories about their mental health on platforms like Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook to give others a glimpse into what it feels like to live with a mental illness. But there's also a lot of people who use mental illness as an aesthetic for their Instagram or Tiktok accounts.

Alex and Maggie
Alex sits on the bench outside of the shark tank window with her head in her hands. She is overly familiar with this spot. This has become her place to come after school, to read, or to study. She would much rather be at the aquarium than in her own home nowadays. It is hard to determine who subjects more abuse her way; her mom or her stepdad. Either way, she doesn't want to hear it today. She tries not to believe it. But it is hard not to believe it when that is all she hears and sees from the moment she hits the front door. So, in order to avoid negativity at all costs, she has found her happy place. Right on the bench outside of the shark tank window.
