Such a great follow-up that can truly stand on its own! I absolutely love Darius: he’s kind, and dorky, and thoughtful, and strangely insightful. I appreciate the nuanced perspective on depression, and how it’s not something that necessarily goes away, and having it also doesn’t mean you can’t be happy in your own way.
