DEAR DEPRESSION,

The brilliant Van Gogh struggled with a deep depression. 

Oh so true, so true. Don't let it defeat you. 

The is the deepest hurt defined. πŸ˜” πŸ’”πŸ’”

I was asked to complete this exercise three years ago, write a letter to depression. Wow. Little did I know, that in 3 months or so, Depression made another unexpected visit. A lengthy visit it was.

Dear Depression,  
Good morning.  I really don't know how long you've accompanied me in life,  DEPRESSION

I don't really hate you, I respect you, I realize I'm the only one who battles you. AJS
Dear God, thank you for life, thank you for faith, thank you for my friends, thank you for all I have. 
This was given to be by a dear friend from LI, a little over 10 years ago. Tell me is there a be better painting,  photograph that nails it so simply ? 


Get back up ! 

We all face storms in life. Some are more difficult than others, but we all go through trials and tribulation. That's why we have the gift of faith.
