when iâm depressed, i tend to forget things. like the times i hugged someone and they hugged back tighter, the times i couldnât stop laughing and smiling from ear to ear. the thoughtful compliments i received, the genuine looks of surprise and joy i helped put on someoneâs face, and the days where nothing important really happened, but i felt happy. but forgetting these things doesnât mean they never happened. they existed once, and theyâre proof that even though i havenât felt myself for a while, some days in my life can be pretty nice, and there will be more days like that in the future.
