Lol as a straight guy, that tracks. For me, I think it’s that I’m comfortable with myself and who I am on the spectrum of sexuality, and don’t really care if people judge me as gay. You’re damn right if there’s something funny to be said that happens to be gay as fuck, I’m just gonna go ahead and say it.

“I’m not depressed, at least I don’t think I am. I don’t really feel sad.”

Definitely sounds familiar to my experience a couple years before my depression diagnosis. I’m not saying that I think you’re depressed, it definitely manifests differently from person to person. For me it feels like a really heavy blanket draped over my mind that holds me down from doing the things I want to, but I am very comfortable underneath that blanket.

Im going to check out your song when I have time later today. I hope you continue making music, we all need something to put ourselves into.

Edit: I just listened to the song, super heart felt and full of emotion. You’ve gotta make time to do more of that.

As someone born and raised in the territories, I don’t think I can claim to be from the “far north”. That’s the Arctic Circle haha

Lol I thought this was a Skyline Chili joke at first

Not just one of the troops, he was the one laughing his ass off lol

If OP isn’t American, school shootings probably aren’t something to even consider… My thoughts go towards being treated poorly by educators more than anything. Bullying from other kids can suck, but in my anecdotal experience (outside the US) the lasting and impactful traumas stem from how teachers and staff deal with the kids.
