They are the most wonderful people to your eyes and seeing them sad, anxious, stressed out, powerless and disappointed because of your behaviour, makes everything even worse.
“those who don’t have a dream, it’s okay. it’s okay if you don’t have a dream. you just have to be happy“
you can still radiate light if you’re sad. you can still be kind and soft-hearted if you’re a bit cynical. you don’t need to be the happiest person to make someone else’s day better.

“You were like an ocean. You looked calm and you promised me you’d never hurt me so I jumped in with no precautions. Nobody spotted me, I didn’t have any floatation devices, I was just my unprotected self. It was great at first. The water was warm and calm and I was happy to be where I was. But after a while you started to get choppy and a little cold, I was still above water but I was beginning to get scared. I stayed still and told myself it would calm down soon… but I was wrong. Your waves got higher, your water felt like ice in my veins and you were pulling me under. I couldn’t breath and I begged for you to help me but you couldn’t hear me over your own loud noise. You slammed me against the rocks and almost drowned me before you threw me to the shore. Even though it was nice to breathe again, I was cold, tired, in pain, and lost. So now I’ve been finding my way back home on my own and trying to heal myself. But all of this happened for a reason, you’ve taught me some things. The next time I go to the ocean I’m going in slow.”

Depression does not always mean
Beautiful girls with visible scars on their wrists. Depression does not always mean having a bad day at work.
Sometimes depression means not getting out of bed for three days in a row because your feet refuse to believe that they will not shatter upon impact on the floor.
Sometimes depression means that summoning the willpower to do the laundry and change your bed sheets is the most impressive thing you’ve accomplished all week.
Sometimes depression means lying there for hours, because you cannot convince your body that it is capable of movement.
Sometimes depression means not being able to write for days, weeks even because the only words you have to offer the world are;
“I’m trapped”
“I’m drowning”
“I swear to god I’m trying”
Sometimes depression means that every single bone in your body aches but you have to keep going through the motions because you cannot call into work with the excuse of depression.
Sometimes depression means ignoring every text and phone call for an entire month because yes, they have the right number but you are not the person they are looking for, not anymore.
“it scares me to think about how i’m only alive because i don’t want to hurt the people i love”
