I was 20 years old when my depression came back. It hit me so hard it knocked me off my feet. I had 3 years. 3 years of feeling so much, while sadness lingered just below the surface. Waiting, for the perfect moment to cut my rope in two. That rope was my lifeline. Now, the days drag on, but the nights seem longer. I gaze out the window, watching the snow cover the world outside. I can't help, but wonder if nature is ever this sad when all her beauty is dead and buried.
