Depression Quote by Brianna C
“Its taken me months, and months to finally believe youre alive. Still breathing, smiling, touching, walking, thinking, and so much more. I think this is the first time Ive lied to myself. I knew, Im not a stupid teenager, but I did know that it was a lie. That that car never crashed, and you actually pulled into your driveway¦ Before I met you, I thought I had the world figured out. From the money enriched from my hard working parents, to my skills in music and art, and the biggest bonus, you. I thought to myself I had it all. But, reality stroke, and hit me with a rage of chills formatting in my body like a lightning bolt no one wanted to live to see, let alone feel. I dont know. No expressions can explain how I feel. Not even that. I guess Im just saying, you made me weak. So weak that I couldnt do anything but cry and stare at my white ceiling.”
