Real talk, I know a lot of you followed me for this post and I gotta say that I’m so grateful because through this one little post I’ve managed to meet so many people that struggle with depression like I do, so many supportive, loving people and I guess I just wanted to say thank you.
I made this post—just kind of threw it together, really— right after getting out of a particularly difficult therapy session. The Hawkeye comics have gotten me through a lot of dark times and I feel such a connection with Clint. I’m just grateful that you were able to feel the same, and I’m sorry for why you were able to feel it, because that means you’ve been through this to some extent and that sucks. It really does.
I guess the other thing I really wanted to say was that the adjectives and verbs come back, I promise you they do. Take those nouns and own them for now, because before you know it, you become “hell yeah imma go to bed because i can”, and "a shower will make me feel better” and “these are my favorite socks”, and “fuck yeah i love coffee”, and “where the hell are my keys?” and those obligations? They’re always gonna be there but sometimes they’re not as bad as you’d think, sometimes they actually are fucking amazing.
You, me, and Clint, we’ll all get better together. So don’t think those words are gone forever, you’re more than just a series of nouns.
