What is depression really? Is there one concrete definition, or has the meaning loosened as our generation has continued it's downhill descent? To me, depression is simply my life. I'm not suicidal. I'm not a cutter. I don't hate the world. I don't dress completely in black. I'm just sad. I've been sad for what feels like my entire life, but that's not true. I was happy once and I can vaguely remember what it felt like, but I can't touch it. I can't get that happiness back, I don't know how. That's what depression is to me, knowing what happiness is, but never being able to touch it, to feel it.- Jenny Leigh

&quot;The feeling of being &#039;okay&#039; does not imply that the person has risen above all their faults and emotional problems. It merely implies that they refuse to be paralyzed by them.&quot;

&quot;If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put foundations under them.&quot;<br /> Henry David Thoreau<br /> <br /> &quot;I fell in love the way you fall asleep; slowly, and then all at once.&quot;<br /> John Green

&quot;Hope is the worst of evils, for it prolongs the torments of man.&quot;<br /> &quot;You don&#039;t really understand human nature unless you know why a child on a merry-go-round will wave at his parents every time around -- and why his parents will always wave back.&quot;<br /> Life is a game, play it....Life is too precious, do not destroy it.&quot;<br /> &quot;Experience is a brutal teacher, but you learn. My God, do you learn.&quot;

Never compare your life with others, as you have no idea what their journey is all about.
