For You, Beautiful Brown Girl
It’s been a year. Your message is still as clear as ever. Your light still continues to shine ever so brightly.
“For people who are fortunate enough to have never experienced depression, you never know the sufferings of the people around you. But if you happen to get a glimpse of such sufferings… extend a hand. A simple “Are you okay,” or “We can talk” can create that opening to the conversation a person in need desires.
For those us who have conquered, conquering or just beginning the battle against depression, you have nothing to be ashamed of. Seek the help you need, and do it with pride. You working towards a better you and I promise you there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
Rest In Peace Karyn. May you continue to shine ever so brightly.” – Depression, Suicide, & Therapy.
