Instant Serotonin

My Comfort Show

By Amelia SharpPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

There are days

When I can't

The emotions have built up

Like waves of chaos

ready to destroy

My ever so gently built

mental health

Those days I turn on my favorite comfort show

"You have an idea of how

your life is going to turn out"

The first line in "the Mindy Project"

And I've got instant serotonin

Mindy is a mess, a project.

She's not perfect

She doesn't fit society's

idea of success

Mindy still tries

Mindy gets her imperfect dream life anyway

If a character as flawed as Mindy

Can still work

For her dream, her desires

Maybe I can too?

I know I'm not perfect

Sometimes I'm a mess

I'm always a project

I am still worthy of my dream

Because I decided so

Like Mindy

In the last episode

Mindy and Danny choose a show

"Is this good?"

"Yeah"

"Okay"

And I'm okay
