To The Girl Who Never Cries…

You are known as the girl who never cries. It’s not exactly accurate. You cry. You do. You just don’t cry a lot. Not a lot of things make you emotional, is all. It’s not like you have some supernatural power, it’s not like how people cry at will; you’re not telling yourself not to cry. It just doesn’t happen. …

I’ll Always Be One Call Away!

I’ll always be one call away. If you need a friend to talk to. If you need someone to listen to you and understand you. If you need to just take a trip down memory lane and remember all the times we had together, all the funny moments we shared, all the unforgettable memories and all the nights …

To The Girl Who’s Afraid To Let Anyone In

I know you’re scared. You have every reason to be. I know you’ve seen relationships fail. I know you’ve seen heartbreak. I know you’ve experienced your tears absorb into your pillow in the darkness of the night – that no one can dry but you. I know there have been people who have hurt you, …

Bad Times Bring Out True Friends

Certain friends in our lives help keep us from falling during our most complicated moments. Friends that offer us their time and affection so that we may feel better. A shoulder to cry on that won’t ask for anything in return. Instead, they obtain satisfaction when we get that emotional relief we so desperately need during hard times. These …

Can You Laugh and Smile and Still Have Depression?

Depression and anxiety are not always what people imagine them to be. Sure, I sit on my bed and I cry a lot. And sure, I feel sad. But it’s not just feeling sad. Sometimes, it’s feeling empty, like there’s nothing in your body, and you’re just a shell. Sometimes, it’s feeling angry, confused, down, lonely, upset, tired, …

Who wants you to be alone?

It’s time that we open our hearts and stop wearing a fake mask of being happy at least in front of close friends and family when we are really depressed. It’s time we reveal our vulnerability in front of our loved ones at least and not create a wall around us when we are depressed. …

Why I Prefer Being Quiet!

“You’re always so quiet.” “Don’t you have anything to say?” “Why don’t you ever talk?” These are things I hear on an almost daily basis from friends, family, and strange people I hardly know. Sometimes, on those especially special days, people will notice and think I’m just being more quiet than usual when it’s a …

A Letter of Regret From a Depressed Friend

Dear Friend, I was not always this way. I did not always hide away from the general public for months or weeks at a time. Once I was quite confident. I occasionally felt happy. I would chat with people over the phone, make an effort to see friends, be interested in daily life. I could …

Thank You for being a part of my life

I’ve always admired the great friendships depicted on the small screen. Complex friendships like Lauren and Heidi’s, deep friendships like Brooke and Peyton’s and sometimes even the friendship, based upon wealth and lies, of Blair and Serena.  I long for a friendship that would break my habitual life of solitude and fill it with laughter. …
