Sometimes all you need is a couple of hours of conversation over a stack of ribs with a dear friend. Sometimes all you need is to get offline and binge watch a full season of that show you've been meaning to check out.

Sometimes all you need is a close-knit group of friends that you know are out there and you can text anytime you need to.

Sometimes all you need is the realization that as bad as things are, you aren't dead so keep on living.

Sometimes all you need is a good laugh.

Sometimes all you need is a good scream.

Sometimes all you need is the realization that you and your problems are only a grain of sand in the enormity of the universe around us.

Sometimes all you need is a thank you from a student who you made a difference to.

Sometimes all you need is a good book in the warm afternoon sun.

Sometimes all you need is to lay down on the floor and cuddle with your dog.

Sometimes all you need is the patience that it will get better.

Sometimes all you need is to get the words out of your head to make room for other ones.
