Play Stupid Games,

Win Stupid Prizes

I am someone who is part of a generation that was raised online, and I am also someone who suffers with depression. The almost nonchalant attitude towards depression in the online culture has been hard to escape, especially when I’m constantly surrounded by it both online and in real life.

♡ is an exploration of internet depression culture and what it really means to be ok.
