ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

This too shall pass

Imagine you have a time-out in kindergarten because you did something wrong. It may seem like you will be stuck in that time-out corner forever and ever, but you need to remember that it will eventually pass. This means that the time-out will come to an end, and you will be able to go back to playing with your friends.

Similarly, in life, you may run into difficulties that make you feel stuck and hopeless. It could be a bad day, a tough breakup, or a challenging test at school. Remember that no matter how tough these things seem, they are only temporary, and they will pass eventually.

So, if you are feeling down, just remember that things will change for the better at some point. Keep your head up, stay positive, and take things one step at a time. This too shall pass.
