people don't realize how exhausting depression is because it's not just being sad all the time, it's losing interest in everything you love and not knowing if you'll ever get back to it
I love the theory that depression is the soul's way of rejecting the life you're forcing yourself to live. your spirit shuts down when you're too far from your purpose, people, or path.
I think I’ve lost my spark. I talk less, I keep to myself, I've mastered distance. I'm not angry nor am I bitter. I just don't have the energy to show up like I used to. Somewhere along the way, I just slipped into this “I don't care” phase.
