I don't know why I'm down
There's a sadness here with no clear cause, and having no reason can make you feel like you've lost the right to be sad. You haven't. Feelings don't always come with an explanation attached, and that doesn't make them any less valid or real. You're allowed to feel low without filing a report on why — you can simply be gentle with yourself today.
Read one, sit with it, and draw as many more as you need.

“Not knowing why you're down can feel like another failure on top of the sadness. It isn't. Some weather just doesn't explain itself before it rolls in.”
“There may be no event to point to, no story that makes sense of it. That doesn't make the feeling fake; it makes it one of the quieter mysteries of being human.”
“You keep searching for the cause so you can fix it, but some sadness isn't a problem with a solution. It's a mood to be waited out, not a riddle to be solved.”
