For some reason I am one of those people who act like they were born and raised during the Depression.
It takes a level of creative depression to hear 'Girls Just Wanna Have Fun' and weep.
Passion is very important to me. If you stop enjoying things, you've got to look at it, because it can lead to all kinds of depressing scenarios.
