Today my cousin and I were on the swings at an old elementary school. I was listening to music when we closed our eyes to swing back and forth. My cousin later asked me what depression felt like and I told him if he remembered what it was like to close his eyes on the swing. How you never knew how high you were, and it didn’t matter because you always felt the same. That’s what depression is like. No matter how high you are you’ll always feel close to the ground. Falling backwards.

I think that’s a very good analogy.
People overuse the word depression so much that the word itself has lost a signifigant ammount of power. Although, not to be that guy, but I am usually spacially aware of where I am on a swing even if my eyes are closed, I at least have an idea of where my body currently resides in space. At least as far as I can remember.. : /
I am aware that signifigant has a ‘c’ but I’ve always felt it looked better spelled ‘incorrectly’ the way I spelled it. I am starting a new wave, because english is a dumb language. Gnarly pterodactyl!
Das uber gnasty psemantics if you ask me.
Not to highjack your post 🙂
