    When I was in the psych ward I was really bored alot of the time, and my friends coming to see me and break me out (/J) for supervised outings was one of the few bright spots. So I decided to paint a sad clown, initially to brighten up my hospitals room but after I got out, I decided I was going to give it to the first of my friends to move out. I'm going to give them my celebratory sad clown tomorrow ( they actually have a creepy hallway to hang it in!)

    I can't stand blank walls, so in college I started hitting up thrift stores for flat bedsheets to pin on the walls like tapestries. They cover a lot of empty space, they're easier and cheaper than paint or wallpaper, you can change them as often as you want, and they come in all kinds of colors and patterns. Kid's sheets are especially fun, I've had Mario, TARDIS pattern, Hogwarts, and Spider-Man over the years. Two bucks and a few pushpins can completely transform a room.

It's doubly hard for people with depression and/or anxiety as they can feel guilty and/or unworthy. So seeing this fear be disproven in a way in this video is both elating and cathartic.

      As an RA, I support this. Although do check with the policies to make sure you're not breaking any rules. Or wallpaper.
      Also, if my community does another paint night (we did one at the beginning of the semester), I'm painting a sad clown and hanging it in our kitchen.

Is that which the wealthy can afford merely distraction from the greater, more human quest to simply love, and be loved, by others?"

I can’t even write a joke I realized that while I was doing my best to adapt to living in a new city I was horrifyingly lonely and it was destroying my mental health so I reached out for help and I’m doing better now. This video unironically changed my life for the better? Thanks Brian
