Renowned poet Sylvia Plath notably struggled with her mental health for most of her life. Her only novel, 1963’s “The Bell Jar,” follows a young woman’s breakdown that parallels Plath’s own experiences.

Her words here serve as encouragement to bravely step past our own self-doubt, and see what we might then achieve.
