I’m one of the most positive and laid back people I know. I’m never openly depressed, and my friends and acquaintances all find me a chill guy, but ever since my parents split, and quite a bit before that too, my home life has generally been pretty shitty. This sounds absolutely shallow and lame compared to some people’s problems, in this very thread even, but these days I’m finding it hard to keep my chin up and stay happy, since both of my parents lives are so shitty, and they are both so depressed at the moment, and obviously, that rubs off on me. I writing this isn’t going to change any of that, but it’s nice to get off my chest.
