"Happiness happens when our hearts combine..."

I can't remember the very first song I heard from Melissa Polinar.
In every single song she sings, I can relate.
It's like she knows the feelings that I feel.

I just read her recent tumblr post... and it just struck home with me. Her thoughts weren't even expressed in a song!

(quoted from her tumblr)
I, Melissa Polinar, am going through depression. Yes. That’s right. ((shock face))


Blame circumstantial triggers, predispositions, the devil, or all three - it doesn’t really matter. What matters is that I’ve completely put my pride (if any left) aside so the world can know that my life is not perfect. And the odds are, yours isn’t as well.


And the good news is - it’s ok.


These days I pick up my guitar or maybe jot down or record a song idea not because it’s part of my lucrative plan to get to the top. I do those things because it’s my release and my motivation to keep going. I’d sometimes wash dishes, hug my dog, give him a bath, not because I’m the most diligent in all things at home but because it’s my way to fight the looming effects of this struggle. And for those of you who has gone through this, doing anything for that matter isn’t the slightest bit attractive for some reason - and it has nothing to do with reason.

I tell ya.
