“Everything is going to be fine”

This normally isn’t what you want to hear when things are hard.

Pithy. Generic. Overused.

And for some people, it’s not even true. Things might not be ok.

But sometimes this is exactly what you need to hear from someone more experienced than you. What Everything is going to be fine really means is You’re doing fine and Don’t be so hard on yourself and Make sure to have fun.
