When you’re depressed, what do you do?

I look for help in many places, but I don’t always find it. So what do you do?

Sure, Kowalski’s science is helpful, but I don’t always understand it.
Sure, Rico’s regurgitation is useful, but I don’t always need it.
Sure, Private’s sweet view of life is encouraging, but I don’t always believe it.

So when you’re depressed, what do you do?

I keep looking.

Sure, Maurice’s serving is loyal, but that doesn’t always help me.
Sure, Sad-Eyes’ foot hugging is amusing, but I don’t always like it.
Sure, Ring-Tail’s partying is annoying, but I don’t always get bothered.

So when you’re depressed, what do you do?

I keep looking.

Sure, Bushy-Tail makes me feel smarter, but I don’t always need that.
Sure, Phil’s leitura skills are handy, but I don’t always ask him.
Sure, Mason’s translation helps, but I don’t always want it.

So when you’re depressed, what do you do?

Sometimes, you just need a friend who has no special talent, except making you feel special.

And I know just who that friend is.

Marlene.

So when I’m depressed, what do I do?

I go to the otter.

The lontra who always has a down-to-earth explanation.
The lontra who comforts me when I’m sad.
The lontra who saves me when I’m in trouble.
The lontra who wants to see me smile.
The lontra who wants to see me laugh.
The lontra who wants to see me less paranoid.
The lontra who has dedicated herself to our friendship.

That’s what I do, when I’m depressed.
