Remember that you never owe anyone any state of mental health. It's impossible to go from deep depression/suicidal thoughts to "yay I'm happy now" in a matter of a few days. Healing is a process and can take a long time, so be patient with yourself and give yourself whatever time you need. Don't feel obligated to be in a particular mental state for anyone else's sake. It already sucks enough being depressed without extra feelings of guilt/responsibility stacked on
So long as any discussions/quotes/etc. stay pg-13 and appropriate for the site (and put significant spoilers in spoiler boxes) And I think this is probably better suited for Entertainment Discussion, so I've moved it there
Oh les gooooooo
AJR announced a new tour for this summer, gonna go to their St Louis show with my brother and my best friend. And they're having Lawrence there as a guest, who's another one of my favorite artists
I loved the Cradle series by Will Wight (first book is called Unsouled)
A lot of Sanderson fans also tend to like his books, and they ain't too long. (Tho they get a bit longer as the series progresses)
If you want a rec from an author I can personally confirm is an awesome person, Darci Cole has 3 great fantasy books that are all fairy tale retellings, the second of which is a sword in the stone retelling Def recommend
