You know when you wake up, and you have that moment where for just a second, everything's perfect? There's no lingering questions on you're mind or deep regrets. For just a moment, everything is just how it's supposed to be, and then it all comes rushing back, everything, all at once and the dread and sorrow fills every inch of your body like a disease and you're angry, furious your life isn't the perfect one you had just imagined. I think that's what we have to hold on to though, the fact that it's not perfect and all we can do is hope that someday, it might be. When you wake up, remember that feeling, remember how easy things were for that split second, it's not much, but sometimes it's all we have.

Depression What is it, really. A state of mind. Or an emotion. Or does it really matter. Because either way, you're stuck. You can't fight the depression. You're rendered useless; it's too powerful.
