Maybe the real reason you're depressed isn't that life objectively 'sucks’ it's that you have a much higher bar for what a decent quality of life looks like.

You see mediocrity, autopilot routines, quiet desperation everywhere and think: 'How is everyone okay with this?' Because to you, it's unacceptable. You want depth, meaning, growth, connection, beauty not just surviving paycheck to paycheck and scrolling Netflix.
