??Depression is not beautiful poetry and sympathy from loved ones and a beautiful girl crying in the middle of the night while her boyfriend holds her and whispers ?I love you? over and over again.
Depression is not dead flowers and lana del rey music and dark eyeliner and lipstick smearing your face as you cry in a dirty bathtub smeared with your own blood.
Depression is a foul taste in your mouth and smell in your room because you don?t care enough to take a shower or brush your teeth.
Depression is longing for the days you cry because feeling something is better than feeling nothing and being sad is better than the blunt anxiety that is a constant in the back of your mind.
Depression is watching your friends slip away because you don?t care enough to call them or see them and in turn feeling lonely and ignored because it feels like they don?t care enough to call you or see you.
Depression is watching your grades plunge because how can you care about them when you don?t even care if you live or die?
Depression is having your teachers and your parents call you lazy and unmotivated and a deadbeat because of these grades and because your illness is so blind to them you have trouble convincing even yourself that it exists.
Depression is your back aching from staying in bed for hours a day, hoping you can live out your life in bed until you don?t have to live anymore.
Depression is staying up until five a.m. watching tv because if you turn everything off you will be alone with your thoughts and there is nothing on earth worse than that.
Depression is groaning in disappointment and anxiety when you wake up the next morning.
Depression is praying yet again that night that you don?t wake up.
Depression is not romantic. It is not beautiful. It is disgusting, empty, ugly. It is a pain so deep and long lasting you forget how you ever were without it.? In honour of robin Williams?

?Growing up, I wish I hadn?t tried so hard to fit in. I?d tell myself to just embrace what you were born with because it?s beautiful and you were made like that for a reason. It?s tough being a girl. I think we need all of the support we can get.?
? Shay Mitchell

? ~ Anon (monastic)
?Find joy in everything you choose to do. Every job, relationship, home? it?s your responsibility to love it, or change it.?
? Chuck Palahniuk
?Look at the weaknesses of others with compassion, not accusation. It?s not what they?re not doing or should be doing that?s the issue. The issue is your own chosen response to the situation and what you should be doing. If you start to think the problem is ?out there,? stop yourself. That thought is the problem.?
? Stephen Covey

"The idea of one side suffering defeat while the other side triumphs is out of date. Instead we have to develop dialogue. We have to make an effort if we want a peaceful, more compassionate world. It requires education, based on patience, tolerance and forgiveness. Too often violence results from greed, so we also need contentment and self-discipline." _ His Holiness the Dalai Lama
My main interest is in the promotion of human values. From birth we have a sense of affection and some sense of concern for others. We need to nurture it. Scientists have found that to ensure even physical health peace of mind is essential. People often think that love and compassion are only matters of religious concern, but in fact such values are necessary in all human relations. _ His Holiness the Dalai Lama

?Most great people have attained their greatest success one step beyond their greatest failure.?
'When someone undermines your dreams, predicts your doom, or criticizesyou in any way, remember, they're telling you their story, not yours.'
?So, what if, instead of thinking about solving you whole life, you just think about adding additional good things. One at a time. Just let your pile of good things grow.?
―Rainbow Rowell,Attachments
"Never be ashamed of a scar, it simply means you were stronger than whatever tried to hurt you"- Unknown
?And still, after all this time, the Sun has never said to the Earth,
"You owe me."
Look what happens with love like that.
It lights up the sky.?
―Hafez
"Right from the moment of our birth, we are under the care and kindness of our parents. Later, when we are sick and old, we are again dependent on the kindness of others. Since we are so dependent on others at the beginning and end of our lives, how could it be that we would neglect kindness towards others in the middle?" his holiness the 14th Dalai Lama
