When did we forget how to feel? We forgot how to be. As a society as a whole. This world we live in forces us to label how we feel. So we choose depressed. But why? We label every feeling that isn’t normal as “Depressed” When really. Were just sad for the moment, Stressed for the day, Happy right now, And lost for this hour. “Depressed” Is a mental condition. I see dark when you see light. You see sad i see normal. I don’t feel happy the way you feel happy. But you don’t feel sad the way i feel sad. I stand here trying to reevaluate this situation. I want YOU as a human in this society to remember how to feel. No label your emotions in such a broad term. WE are humans. We have emotions. This does not mean we are depressed. I see Facebook posts, and Tweets, And instagram captions Saying how these people are “Depressed” When yesterday they were loving life. This “Depression” i feel. Is not day by day. Its something i wake up with its something i go to sleep with. Because you are sad today doesn’t mean you will be sad tomorrow. Food for thought. Peace.

Open letter from a depressed soul
