Filling the Bucket

"My mom used to tell me that mental health is like a bucket." He spoke slowly, pausing every now and then to pick the right words. "And everything takes a little bit out of your bucket--homework, quidditch practice, studying, annoying teachers--but you can't let that stop you. You have to take the time to fill your bucket. Little things. Spending time with your friends. Making cookies. Reading your favorite book. Taking a walk on a nice day. Everything helps, but you have to do something or else your bucket will empty, and then you don't have anything to keep going on. That's what we need to do. We need to fill our buckets."
