We Are All So Good at Smiling Amber McBride, Smile, Depression, Trauma, Mental Health, Girl, Magic, Poetry,
This is what I know:
my name is Whimsy & magic is real-
a fine glitter hovering in the air
It doesn’t matter that most can’t see the energy (the ashe)
like a woven spell stringing through & connecting all things.
It doesn’t matter that some don’t believe in magic,
they still inhale it.
They are still part of the plucked heart-thrum of life.
You see,
the non-magical look & look & don’t see
Still, there are things that cross magic lines.
Sadness can seep into anything, even trees
especially the weeds — perhaps (even)
a soul.

Hold Still, Nina LaCour, Young Adult, Pink/Orange, Two Girls, Cinema, Clouds, Shadows, Friendship, Suicide, Depression
I watch drops of water fall from the ends of my hair. They streak down my towel, puddle on the sofa cushion. My heart pounds so hard I can feel it in my ears.
“Sweetheart. Listen.”
Mom says Ingrid’s name and I start to hum, not the melody of a song, just a one drawn-out note. I know it makes me seem crazy, I know it won’t make anything change, but it’s better than crying, it’s better than screaming, it’s better than listening to what they’re telling me.

Get Well Soon, Anna Bloom #1, Julie Halpern, Smiley, Sad, Depression, Mental Health, Mental Hospital, Romance, Realistic Fiction, Contemporary, Young Adult, Letters“People sent me get well soon cards while I was in a mental hospital. There were fluffy little bunnies, floaty rainbows, and even a religious card. I could understand that Hallmark probably doesn’t make “Get Sane Soon” cards, but still. Was I not well before? Am I well now? Who decides?”

Darius the Great Is Not Okay, Adib Khorram, Orange, Blue, Two Guys, Cityscape, Young Adult, LGBT“The thing is, I never had a friend like Sohrab before. One who understood me without even trying. Who knew what it was like to be stuck on the outside because of one little thing that set you apart.”
