I've had a rough life shared by my older brother who suffers from depression due to our childhood. My father died when I was eleven, and my mother made me work instead of go to school. I ran away from home at fifteen, went to high school, and college. My question is this. Why didn't all the negative factors in my life affect me like it did my brother? I can safely say, I have never been depressed or really truely unhappy, Ever! My friends thought I was on something, my brother says I'm in denial. I have always been happy, no matter what happens to me. Am I a shallow person? A psychologist of my brothers told me once when I asked him what kind of person I was, a glass half empty or half full. He said I'm a person that just says there's water in the glass. Why do I feel so happy all the time?
