Somehow I realized that,
the older you are, the longer you'll get depressed over something.
When we were little kids, we could cry or be sad at many things, but it hardly last for few hours. All you need to do is to give us candies or ice-cream and we'll be all happy again. It's just so easy to get over the sadness when we're young.
Then, we reached teenage. We became more mature and more thoughtful. At this age, we start to learn how to strengthen friendships, how to love, how to care for others. The things that can make us sad differ now. We get sad over something more mature now. But also, the sadness last longer now. It could be a few days, weeks, or even months.
Then again, we'll be reaching adulthood. We'll be facing different things again. We work, we meet new people, we marry. Now, the usual causes of sadness will be money, work or family. And it'll most probably be a long-term case now, which lasts for at least months, or years.
Does this mean that maturity is directly proportional to depression? The more mature you are, the longer period of time you'll be depressed?
If that's the case, let's not be mature.
Let's be childish! :)
