On Depression

 

 Depression.

It doesn't care if it's 110 degrees outside.

It doesn't care if it's summertime or if school's out and the schedule is lax.

And it hates when you go on vacation.

It flees for a short time but returns with a vengeance.
 
Depression.

It's been my friend for 5 years. And it looks like this it's a long term relationship.

Which stinks.

There are worse things that I could deal with. Depression is not the worse thing out there.

But it feels pretty close to it sometimes.

In 110  degree weather.

Chocolate
It cares
It cares a lot
But not when it is 110 degrees.
But maybe chocolate shake? Ice cream?
Chocolate is depression's enemy.
Remember the power of chocolate. And coolness.

Grab it! Now! And defy depression in 110 degrees.
