Depression Quote by Anonymous
“Instead of killing yourself wait until a year from now where you say, Holy fuck, I can't believe I was going to kill myself before I'd etcetera'd...before I went skinny dipping in Tennessee, made my own IPA, tried out for a game show, rode a camel drunk, skydived alone, learned to waltz with clumsy old people, photographed electric jellyfish, built a sailboat from trash, taught someone how to read, etc. etc. etc. The red washing down the bathtub can't change the color of the sea at all.”
