Unrealistic happiness
"Its okay to not be okay"
Stay strong, never give up
My friends are pretty tough people who have experinced some rough stuff in their background, and have made me a mentally stronger person because they have shown me that even if life is hard to live that you need to have the mental strength to move forward. I am honestly grateful to have those kinds of people in my life.
My family (especially my mom) have always tried to support me and my feelings and they let me know that im not alone with my feelings and that its okay to feel the way i do. This really impacts me because of my depression at a young age i used to think i was 'weird' or 'crazy' for it but knowing that people around me have experinced it too makes me feel a little less alone and a little more comfortable with myself.

Comfort(?)
It's okay to love
My boyfriend has taught me a lot of things but the most important thing he has taught me is to be a more compassionate person overall. Im very grateful for this because i used to have the horrible habit of always pushing people away and having a person by your side loving you for who you are is probably one of the most impacting things that can be in a persons life.
The dangers of drugs
Mr. M's class has taught me the dangers of drugs like weed, cigarettes/vaping, meth, herion,etc. and it taught me a lot about how it can ruin your life and it opened my eyes because i never really knew anything about that type of stuff.
made me tougher physically
Me and my brother always faught growing up and since he was wayy taller and stronger than me i think that it made me tougher.
its okay to open up
They always let me know that i can always come to them if i need a shoulder to cry on and this has impacted me because i never had that growing up, so having good friends who truly care and like me for who i am is great.
I am not a religous person AT ALL, but being around a family that believed in many different things kind of had the impact on me to not care about what people believe in because its their life and not mine.
Music has been a huge comfort to me even at a young age. Anytime i need some sort of comfort i turn to music because most of the songs i listen to say the things that i would want to say.
"If you have a chance to go, go."
I think this affected me more than what meets the eye because this quote shows me to be my own person and to take any chance i get to do something great, to get up, get going and get out there.
Being more mindful
Being at the mental hospital has taught me to not worry about the future nor the past. To stay in the present and recognize the people and the things around me and to recognize the feelings i have a lot easier than before. I think this has impacted me with overall my mental health and I wish more people who struggled with depression knew this skill.
To be strong
As a kid i watched movies where the main character had to always be strong and they would succeed when they were and i think that showed me at a young age that i had to try and give everything my all to get the best outcome.
I think social media is insanely toxic because of their standards of a "happy life". Seeing a bunch of people on the internet living this super perfect and happy life at a young age made me have unrealistic standards to be a happy person (e.g. weight, looks, diets, etc.)
made me know more about myself
The personality tests that we take have made me know more about myself. Knowing the things like my love language and overall my mindset is a useful things to have in mind because being aware of who you are can impact the decisions you make in life.
