that low where I desired to die
by my own hands. Most people have
at one time in their lives. So many
people suffer in silence. Depression is
just like the flu, or this staph infection
I have now. No shame. Society makes us
feel shame in such a subtle way. “Don’t
buy in.” You’re perfect just as you are. I
mean it too. Don’t buy into the man’s world
of bullshit.
