One way to feel better when you're depressed is writing a letter to yourself, preferably in your diary so you can read it each time you feel depressed. I remember when I wrote this letter to myself a few months ago. Each time I read it, i get a glimpse of hope on who I'm able to become. Dear self You're young, you're beautiful, and you have the world at your fingertips. It's time to explore the bigger picture. You thought you had seen both sides of the coin, but you haven't seen nothing yet. Let loose; be less uptight with rules and expectations. It's time to find yourself and discover your inner strength. Stop letting the world dictate how you should be or how you should live your one time life in this world. Remember, you only live once. So live your best life. Yours self-love
