It Gets Better
Comfort for struggles
It Gets Better is a phrase associated with a 2010 social media campaign reassuring LGBTQ+ youth that life improves after the isolation and bullying common in adolescence.
The message has broadened into general encouragement for anyone enduring temporary hardship: I know things are rough now, but it gets better.
