depression is letting too many days go by without watching the sunset. depression is shying away from the embrace you desperately want. depression is convincing yourself that your self perpetuated isolation is somehow beneficial. depression is hardly being able to tell the difference between the time you spend asleep and the time you spend awake. depression is feeling startled by the sound of your own voice. depression is convincing yourself that there is something inherently wrong, and broken within you. depression is forgetting to handle yourself with care. depression is a divorce from self love. so yes, depression is a lot of things, but it is not insurmountable. I watched the sunset tonight.
