Todays song of the day is inspired by none other than my own depression. I’ve reached this point in my healing journey where I realize I have been consistently depressed since my assault in 2019.

But in theme of smiling through the pain, here’s a song about my inner dialogue. Something I struggle with a lot is this feeling of always being my own savior. Typing this right now, I realize that most people strive to save themselves- so how could this possibly make me more depressed?

Ultimately, in this psychoanalysis of my own thoughts, i have concluded the following: all humans crave connection and the feeling of being seen / heard. hypothetically: if an individual goes through a number of traumatic instances and handles them all by their lonesome, it’s not the feeling of saving themselves that contributes to depression but rather the lack of connection, feeling seen/heard.

To any one reading, i don’t need saving and neither do you! but it’s okay to not want to go through hard things alone.

Thanks for reading <3 if you struggle with your internal dialogue <3 be kind to your mind, and if you can’t be kind to your own-go be extra nice to someone else :)
