Confession: I suffer from depression: major depressive disorder. But because I am high-functioning and an extrovert, very few people in my life know this about me- even many close friends and family members. I reflect on why my depression seems to hide in plain sight as well as explain some of my most troublesome symptoms of depression. I also share more fun stories of Lane dancing through the years!

*Lane's first dance class and his hip-hop outfit and routine at the recital
