young and depressed in America

Prozac nation

Kendall Lobdell

I start to think there really is no Cure for depression, that happiness is an ongoing battle, and I wonder if it isn't one I’ll have to fight for as long as I live. I wonder if it’s worth it

knowing versus knowing, head versus heart

I need that thing that happens when your brain shuts off and your heart turns on

But then I never had to worry about a crash landing because I never even took off. 

. . . Only knowing that the sun is shining because you feel the ache of its awful heat and not because you know the joy of its light. Imagine being always in the dark. 

Homesickness is just a state of mind for me. I’m always missing someone or someplace or something, I’m always trying to get back to some imaginary somewhere. My life has been one long longing. 

My god, where on earth do I have to go to get away from me?
