Being a tomboyish pansexual

  This chapter is solely about a topic that I personally feel should be addressed. This will be graphic to some and I will use foul language. If you want to skip this chapter go ahead.

  Depression. It's not as simple as people define it. Depression is when a person falls into a spiral of sadness and despair. It can lead to self hate, self harm, and suicide. I suffer from depression and I'm going to tell you now that's not a fucking joke. Some people that I use to know used depression as a means to gain attention. They would send pictures of their wrist and a knife to all of their friends. I hate that because people are actually suffering and they just do it to get pity. I, personally, have never cut or self harm but I have tried to commit suicide. I just get by each and everyday just like anyone else. Just because I smile doesn't mean everything is alright in my life. This a very personal topic for me and I honestly don't anyone to feel as if they alone on this. So look at everyone closely because maybe the person who is a shining light to everyone is actually dead inside. Tell them that your there for them, they shouldn't be alone. With me, I would rather have my friends vent to me about anything rather than just keeping quiet. Knock down their walls and accept them for who they are. I honestly hope for a world where people are genuinely happy and there is peace. However, that's not going to happen anytime soon so we just have to just start trying now. If you read this then thank you for reading this. I'm sorry if this was really serious compared to everything else I have written in this book but I wanted to just get this off my chest. Thank you :)
