When going through hard times, it’s easy to quickly get annoyed by all the motivational words of hope and perseverance from our friends, family, and most of all, random strangers. No one wants to hear “it gets better” as a response to the most horrible trauma you’ve ever been through. Sometimes, we just want to be a little pessimistic, and that’s okay!!!
