So I started thinking, what if we had a special place inside our hearts for when we're

feeling down, a place that we actually can't visit, but one that makes us feel better just

a real place that you can go to, but I want you to imagine it as a peaceful spot in your mind. And in this garden,

there are feelings of sadness. But there's also some feelings of hope. And they come together

softly, right? Like these vines that are growing on an old wall. They intertwine. And it's beautiful.
