Understanding

I was randomly looking at an article about famous people doing things that would surprise you. They showed a picture of Kurt Cobain eating a whole pizza, being goofy, and the writer then wrote this, which really hit the nail on the head. I thought I would share.

"Well, depression works that way. Movies have given us a skewed idea of how it works, because there, when a character enters his "dark period," it's with a montage full of sad music and drinking and moping in dim rooms. Real life isn't like that. Not only do moods fluctuate, but even when you're at your lowest you find yourself in social situations where you're not allowed to show it. If you're in a dark place but can't get out of your nephew's birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese's, you're going to put on a smile for the camera. You feel selfish bringing everybody else down. You put on a cheerful mask."

The whole article is pretty funny, but that one paragraph really gets it.
