i was one of you. but, there's this interesting thing i learned called opening up to people. not even people, just to person. one person, that's all it took. he came into my life by accident in the fall of 06, and really never left. i was pretty deep into depression at the time, and i kind of cast him - and everyone else i met - aside. a year later, by some strange fluke, we started dating. it was about 6 months into the relationship before either of us - him also a victim of depression - would start opening up. i remember some of the first few major talks we had. the shit i'd been through, he had too ironically. the feelings, he knew what i meant.
over the past 6 months, we've had a bit of a switch. his depression is back with a vengeance. but now, when he tells me things he doesn't think anyone is going to get, i do. it just takes that one person. believe it. it'll probably be someone you never expect.
