You carry your corpse amidst the sensory cacaphony to the place (school), you think will one day some day take you to the utopia that twerks inisde your head. You crack dull grins, among your colleagues passing along the way. Anything to stop people from asking why oh why you still walk with a skyscraper back . Some still notice and you tell them it's nothing. It really IS nothing but its just that day, today when those quote wallpapers on your phone have become hackneyed and do not stir you. You isolate yourself and yank out your phone still to maybe find something that numbs.
1.The sad ghost club:
You're on Facebook and you stumble across this Mighty article to find the sad ghost club. You check for a website and it reads
IF YOU’VE EVER BEEN SAD, THEN YOU’RE ALREADY A MEMBER.
You're excited. You would highfive God right now if you could. You also wish you could thanks Laura and Lize for creating the club.WE'RE A SMALL CREATIVE PROJECT MAKING COMIC BOOKS, APPAREL AND MERCHANDISE TO SPREAD POSITIVE AWARENESS OF MENTAL HEALTH.
Then you browse the comics on their facebook page.
You feel understood, loved, cradled, warm. Like somebody actually listened and didn't force feed you optimism and scold you for not opening your mouth.
Plus they ship cute tees and beanies.
Score.

You feel like you've almost diagnosed your dilemma for the day. Now you need concrete steps for making a smart plan.
But because you're not yet ready to quit the internet it's time to browse youtube some more.
You are almost worried you'll end up wasting time and watching something else other than what could help you but then you search for a "How to become a better person"video on youtube and stumble upon a cool channel called "The School of Life."
A Google search later proves that as per the school of life website:
The School of Life is a place to step back and think intelligently about central emotional concerns. You will never be cornered by dogma, but we will direct you towards a variety of ideas from the humanities - from philosophy to literature, psychology to the visual arts – ideas that will exercise, stimulate and expand your mind.
You've found your online adult (Thanks Alaine De Botton for starting this project). Somebody who takes you through various ideas and helps you make a decision as opposed to being thrusted an order.
You throw away your phone and march towards a group of people.
You can deal with today.
You can deal with today.
