In such a person, sadness breeds purpose; finding inspiration in the darkness and often times, I believe, they will impress a hell onto their own lives in order to re-create it, that others might suffer the experience from the comfort of their armchairs. - Quote from Her Past's Present.

About This Quote

This quote captures the essence of depression. It is the very thing that makes us who we are, but it also creates a burden that can overwhelm us. We become consumed by sadness and try to escape the truth of our lives by drowning ourselves in drink or drugs, or by ruining the lives of others who are close to us. Sometimes this works, but not often enough. And, if we fail at this task, we will find ourselves back at the beginning, where the only real choice is to find purpose in our suffering.
