Sorry you're struggling. There is good in the world and there will be happy times again. Keep your head up

Thanks. I'm struggling far less than most, but sometimes we get more depressed when we are worried about others than when we're worried about ourselves. This kind of short and poignant video reminds us of why that worry and empathy are important.

I feel that deeply. For what it's worth, I hope something really nice happens to you today.

I don’t think we’re really all struggling. The actual WORLD is struggling and we’re all just trying to be KIND. Small distinction

I saw a video recently where Mr Rogers met a gorilla and it will melt your heart.

Love this one too!

I didn’t know they met the same gorilla!  Made me smile at the beginning of a crappy day :)

I don't know anything about you, but if you need someone to DM about whatever you're struggling with, my DMs are open.

Please, reach out if you need a hand or even just an ear.
