Mental wellbeing was never really my top priority in life. I never really bothered to think of anything regarding this as I'm pretty much satisfied with what I have. Apparently some aren't so satisfied like I am. Regardless of that, we had our second lesson regarding mental health. I've always thought stuff like depression is just people being sad or people overexaggerating their emotions just to attention. Matter of fact I used to have this mindset since 7th grade that I constantly made fun of this subject. While I haven't really changed my viewpoint that much on the subject, I did learn some things about mental health which I previously didn't know.
The article I had been given talked about reasons why ones mental health could diminish and methods on how to improve your wellbeing. Mostly it talked about the basic stuff that everyone knows, such as proper sleep schedules, having social interactions, and performing meditation. One thing that really stuck out to me was talking about things you are grateful for to a friend or someone else. It really felt odd as it just happened to be some sort of funny joke at this point. I mean I did try it and it just came out as awkward, but it really just reminded me of this anime I watched where a character punches the air a thousand times per day to show gratitude or something. Really odd.
Although my view on mental wellness hasn't changed a bit, I do understand more about it and I learned that mine is probably fine, or at least I think it is. I haven't killed anyone yet so I most likely don't suffer from some massive traumatic event that will haunt me for the rest of my life yet.

The first, a forlorn woman who seeks to mend a strained relationship before it becomes irrevocably broken, while the second hopes to acquire an explanation from a departed companion. A third character wishes to revist and undo a moment of regret, and the final traveler longs for one final brush with someone they had lost. The immutable and all-consuming nature of time unveils itself as each of the four's journeys progress, gently guiding them to acceptance. The book uses charming prose juxtapo...
