Then, one day he came to himself, and began thinking about home and those thoughts were pleasant

You said it wasn’t working because I wasn’t happy, but you already knew that. I have depression and it literally blocks my happiness. Since you already knew that, why did you wait so long to break it off? And why didn’t you come up with a different reason?
