The Smile Was Real... But So Was the Depression

There is something I need to tell you.

If you've ever met me in person, you've probably seen me laughing. Making jokes. Talking too much. Being sarcastic. Finding something ridiculous in every situation because that's just who I am.

But here's what most people never saw.

I would go home, close the door, and completely fall apart.

Depression doesn't always look like someone crying in a dark room.

Sometimes it looks like the person making everyone else laugh.

Sometimes it's the friend who always checks on everyone else.

Sometimes it's the business owner still showing up because the bills don't stop, even when your mind is telling you that you aren't good enough.

Sometimes...

It's me.
