Mental illness was never beautiful. It wasn't what social media displayed. It wasn't waking up sad and having a boy kiss your scars. It wasn't a caption for Instagram selfie either. It was drooping eyes 4am. It was blood stained sheets. It was feeling absolutely insane. So don't you dare romanticize something that is so painful, that you'd rather not wake up tomorrow morning. Don't you dare, until you've faced it, and once you have, don't ever think about romanticizing something that is so painful ever again.
