I look at people everyday & often wonder how they have the will to just keep going even in the face of adversity. There’s no question that everyone is struggling with something & that depression is more common than we realize, but if that’s the truth, where do people find their strength to love, to laugh, to get out of bed, to do all of this??

Sometimes I just feel like crawling into a ball & not coming out until this thick fog of depression passes over. It always passes, but I SWEAR, it feels endless when I’m in the thick of it. I just keep feeling like I don’t have time to explore my feelings, no time to truly heal, because life must go on. I have school and bills & people looking up to me & I feel so weak because the way I’m feeling paralyzes me at times. So again, how do people gain the strength to keep going?

Thanks for reading.
