"She's always happy, right?"

"You're her friend... You live together. Have you noticed anything?"

"She's - I always thought she was fine."

Episode 117 Lore Olympus by Rachel Smythe

I chose this quote because to me it spoke volumes. I have suffered from depression and anxiety since middle school. Everyone thought I was okay until I got to high school. In this story that I am reading, the main character was raped by a friend's brother. She had no issue pretending she was okay, but on the inside she was dying. She felt herself losing control of her emotions. Just because someone who is always cheerful and happy does not mean that they are okay all the time. You should always watch out for your friends because there will come a time when they need you and they will make small changes as a cry for help. Please look out for these small changes, that is when they need you the most.
