Open Up: Otis Carey Speaks About Depression

“Even if it’s embarrassing to talk about, you’re always going to come out the other side feeling better. It’s ok to feel shit, we all feel shit. Just talk about it.”
- Otis Carey

Artist and pro surfer Otis Carey (whom you may remember from our Featured Artist interview some time back), is here to tell you depression is normal and expressing these emotions should be something to not shy away from.
