Mild depression is a gradual and sometimes permanent thing that undermines people the way rust weakens iron -- Like physical pain that becomes chronic, it is miserable not so much because it is intolerable in the moment as because it is intolerable to have known it in the moments gone and to look forward only to knowing it in the moments to come.
You don't always win battles,
but at least you fought.
You're not always right,
but at least you thought.
You're not always going to stand,
sometimes you have to fall.
But the lessons you learn from this
are the best lessons of all.
but at least you fought.
You're not always right,
but at least you thought.
You're not always going to stand,
sometimes you have to fall.
But the lessons you learn from this
are the best lessons of all.
I walked out of the door with pride and a sense of satisfaction.
