An Open Letter to My Depression
Dear Depression, I remember the day I met you—I remember how you felt like my friend. You told me, “This is fine, this is okay, lay down your sleepy head—the world does not matter. You are safe. Just stay with me.” I did stay with you, I stayed with you for a long time, you were my friend. At first, I didn’t mind you. I didn’t mind you because I didn’t find there was anything wrong with sleeping fourteen hours a day. I didn’t think it was a problem that I wasn’t eating—after all, I was kind of fat anyways. That’s what you would tell me. It was okay that I didn’t talk to my family because we weren’t close anyways. That’s what you said. I was okay with your presence because I didn’t know you were there.
