“The best advice I can give is to take a day just for you. No matter what you like to do, whether that be draw or read or play soccer, or even all of the above, find a day where you can do just that. The point of this day is to just relax, and if your favorite activities do that for you then do them! Don’t wait for there to be ‘nothing more important to do,’ instead go ahead and get started. Follow your heart wherever it may lead you, for today there is no such thing as ‘I have to’ or ‘I should’; there is only ‘I want.’ You deserve to be happy, to spend some time doing what you want to do without being guilted into doing something else.

And if your favorite activity is the source of your stress, then don’t do it. For example, if you find yourself struggling to not be a perfectionist when drawing and inevitably stress yourself out over every little detail, then it isn’t something you should do on a relaxation day. But if you are really dead set on doing art, consider doing little doodles only so it isn’t as difficult to find whats perfect to you.

In the end, I say just fully call it a splurge day, do and eat what your heart desires. If you don't feel up to making big meals, you can grab a healthy snack (cheese and crackers, along with the veggies you like best, is an option to consider), or you can simply order in. Perhaps there’s a new take out place you’ve been meaning to try, or you haven’t gone to your top choice in months; today is the day to change that.

And then when the end of the day arrives, take a seat in your favorite spot, whether that be a chair, your bed, or anywhere else, and just enjoy the comforting atmosphere you’ve been building thus far. Listen to music, or sit in silence. Drink some tea, or make a cup of hot chocolate. Be yourself without the walls or façades you usually put on, and remember that you are worthy of this, of happiness, simply for existing. And no matter what, you will always make it through, because every day you're a survivor and I’m so very proud of you.”

Izuku was sitting on the park bench alone with his face buried in his paws. I was walking by when I noticed him, and hearing his sniffling broke my heart, so I tried to think of how I could help him.
I slid beside him and rested my hand on his shoulder, "hey buddy, you doing okay?".
"Huh, oh it's you. I'm fine..." he wiped tears from his eyes, "It's just... allergies...".
I knew of course it wasn't "allergies" but something personal, but how could I cheer him up? The arcade!
"Well in that case, how 'bout we go have some fun at the arcade and get out of this damp weather!" I slapped him on the back causing him to jump.
"Th-the arcade?" He trembled from shock, "Yeah, and I bet you Haru would join us, he's not busy today".
I flipped out my phone to text Haru, and maybe he'd get the gang to join us while Izuku sat beside me with a look that seemed hopeful.

-- later at the arcade parking lot --
Izuku looked at the time on his phone, "it's been an hour..." he sighed, "don't you worry, he'll be here" I flashed a bright smile.
"Hey, sorry we're late!" Haru waved walking up to us with a group of kalons beside him.
Izuku turned his gaze to see Haru and all his friends, "what are all of you doing here!", a female kalon walked past him, "is that anyway to treat your friends? Anyway, you do owe me a skee-ball rematch" she looked back at him with a wink.
"You guys... thank you so much!" He cried burying his face in his forearm, "c'mon buddy, quit crying and let's have some fun" a larger male kalon called holding the door open.
Izuku looked up with tears falling and brushed them away before joining his friends.
I pulled Haru aside before going in, "Hey Haru, how'd you get everyone to come today?", he looked at me with a smile "it's Izuku, how could we not make time for him. He's always there for us, even when he's struggling".

Izuku was able to forget about his troubles for the afternoon with people who care so much about him. Even though it's just for awhile, forgetting about his troubles will help him move forward knowing of life's little rewards that await along the path of this world's hardships.
