The thing about getting depressed is that on the surface, you look fine. And that’s the problem people have with understanding it. They’re finding it difficult to look past the facade you’ve put up behind the suffering you’re telling them you’re going through.

Yeah man, it’s especially difficult to explain these types of things to the old. Depression was not really considered a thing in their era, so I don’t really blame them sometimes. I just wish they evolved with us.
