I break down sometimes. I’m 20 years old, and I realize I want to be twenty forever. All my life, I wanted to speed up things. Achieving goals younger makes you competent and successful, they said. So I took a difficult college degree even though it isn’t what I liked. I applied for my first job after I turned 18, and boy, did it took a toll on my mental health.

Thankfully, it made me appreciate the small things that makes me happy. Hopefully this will give you an idea to keep your life a little bit better. Here are the 20 things that can ease my worries:

1. Re-reading my favorite books. (I like to re-read Pack Darling by Lola Rock recently).

2. Watching Running Man on YouTube. Or a lot of K-pop.

3. Tarot reading.

4. Writing chapters of my novel.

5. Listening to sad music.
