So I know you've seen these right?

Ok so no this isn't really a real one that air but you know what I'm talking about.

Part of the reason I write Head Cases is as an outlet. A lot of people on a daily basis use me as an ear, from strangers to long time friends, people just talk to me all the time sharing pieces of themselves. More often than not it includes sprinklings of depression. Now, having been an individual that got to live through an induced depressed state and knows what it feels like to life out of it, I also know what it feels like to constantly battle NEVER wanting to go back to that place.

But every so often you encounter individuals who seem to thrive staying there. I don't understand this. Why want to stay in a state where everything is dark and negative? Futile and unresponsive? Bleak. Now I understand it's quick to be like "Oh you just don't understand". Hahaha but I do. All too well and to the limits of it. It, like many things in life with the exception of rare diseases and anomalies, can be beat by mind over matter, it's a very powerful thing. In the end, no matter what positivity those in your life bring you, nobody can make you change but you. And if you are an outsider looking in, you can't help someone who doesn't want to be helped as frustrating as patience can be.

I think it's always a testament to people's character which side of the fight they choose to be on. With all that faces us on a daily choosing to let the petty, caddy, superfluous and superficial get one down seems silly with the mental picture of how bad it truly could be.

Life is too short and you don't get out alive...so WHY SO SERIOUS?! lol
