Note: The cure for asthma is not, “Just breathe!”, and the cure for cancer is not, “Stop growing those cells!” Similarly, the cure for depression is not, “Just be happier!”, and the cure for anxiety is not, “Stop worrying so much!” These are not phases of life for teenagers and the weak-minded - they are serious and chronic medical illnesses.

things I can’t imagine

• someone having a crush on me
• someone randomly seeing me and thinking ‘wow she’s cute’
• someone getting happy because I messaged them first
• someone thinking about me, in general
• someone wondering how I am
• someone finding me attractive
• someone doing something to try and impress me
• someone asking their friend on what to say to me 
• someone wanting to get to know me
