"I do not remember what it is to be me." - Late 2015
Depression is part of who I am as a person but it does not define me. Some people say that tragic events and painful memories are the most valuable because they play an important role in making one "who they are". That's bullshit. Every event in one's life is equal, because changing that event would lead to the creation of an entirely different person. I would not be "me" without my depression, my past tragedies, or any of my current faults. I would also not be "me" without my passion, my past blessings, or my strengths. If I want to change into a better person I must seek to do so in my future instead of my past.
