“It's prosperity that causes crises in hope. It's having six hundred channels and nothing to watch. It's having fifteen matches on Tinder but no one good to date.

― Mark Manson, Everything Is F*cked: A Book About Hope

“If you feel okay only when life is happy and easy-breezy-beautiful Cover-Girl, then guess what?
