1) The Day Where People Draw Hearts on Their Wrists to Recognize People With Depression*
2) The Perfect Day According to Ms. Rhode Island on Miss Congeniality **
* People shouldn't just draw hearts on their wrists to raise depression awareness. They should actually do something about it. There are at least 100 people you pass everyday. Chances are more than 10 of them are battling depression. Depression is not just some common disorder that attention whores use to call attention to themselves. It's a disorder that means that the person with Depression needs help. The scary thing is... you never know who it is. He/she could be laughing, smiling, emotionless, crying, anything. The only way you'll ever know is if they are brave enough to come out and tell you about it. One thing you can do to help is open your heart and mind to everyone. Don't push people away when they're calling for help. Don't judge anyone, because the truth is, you have no idea what they have gone through. You have no idea what they think, what they do, what they've gone through, what their life is like, and how they've lived it so far. So please, next time you're about to judge someone, think about how you'd feel if you were the one in their shoes.
** I love Miss Congeniality.
