Some of the aphorisms came across as mechanical, which could just be my cynicism showing. Just because they're expected doesn't mean these are bad sentiments though. Like the title - 'everything is okay.' Revelatory? No. But it comes from a place of honest sentiment. Everything Is OK is a little ray of sunshine, born out of the author's own emotional arc. It can lean rather far into the saccharine for my cynical heart, but it's all done with the best of intentions.
