lighten up edit.png

A personal project. "Lighten Up" is one of my least favorite phrases! For me, this phrase is dismissive and diminishes the value of one's feelings. Although usually expressed with good intentions, I've personally never felt "better" after hearing it. It was a phrase that had been thrown around a lot recently so I decided to express my frusturation.
