The healing power of movement.
I feel the bay air across my body and the thud of my feet on the footpath. The way my breath naturally reaches a rhythmic equilibrium calms me. But the most amazing thing I have found about being in motion, is the way my mind is able to become more empty than I can ever remember it being in my entire life.
A day in the life of untreated depression.
I make it through school using my usual tactics. Smile when appropriate, laugh when everyone else does, act surprised or hurt when something bad happens, and when it all gets too much escape to the bathroom for a bit so I can just be how I feel, numb.
