You know, personifying depression is something I don't think is written out enough. It's something many of us feel, but in different ways, and so each phrase holds a memory and way it's affected us in ways we can't forget. Depression can, at its root, seem the same to us, yet it can chase and take different forms. I don't think it gives more power to depression to voice all the ways it tears us down, because depression can grow stronger in silence.

This is personal, raw, and truly telling to how manipulative and deceitful depression is. How easy it can be to lean on it, to believe it, because it can have such a persuasive voice. Making us believe we are too weak to fight back.

Keep fighting, even harder <3
