Understated is more believable

“Some days are just heavy” carries further than a paragraph about nobody understanding. Overstatement makes a reader suspicious; understatement makes them nod. If a line needs an explanation, it is doing too much work.

A sad caption stays on your profile. Everything here is written so it still reads as reasonable later — a bad day recorded honestly, rather than something you will quietly delete in March.
