When you are not depressed everything is fun and you are always happy, unless something upsets you.

When you are not depressed, you feel...satisfied. content. happy. You find pleasure in simple acts of kindness and love and display positive thinking. Your self esteem is high and you feel confident, clear headed and you don't find it too hard to be self motivated.

It's basically the same up and down, just a lot less extreme. And it's easier to get yourself to do stuff.

It is like you are free. You don't feel trapped anymore and feel that you are not in a dungeon anymore.

Not being depressed is just the act of knowing that it's okay to have problems, and it's okay to feel overwhelmed, but still knowing that at one point you'll have the willpower and energy to deal with them. It's acceptance.

Free to believe in yourself without doubting your abilities. Content and assertive about your being.

Not to be depressed is like you're a new born person. Nothing is more precious than accepting who you are, embracing your imperfections and reminding yourself that you're a strong & beautiful human. It's pretty like a new beginning , finding joy in little things, spending time doing what you love and most of all learning to be in love with life while forgetting those painful moments. :)
