i've told myself that depression is a part of me, and that i should learn to accept it, and not put it away cause it would keep coming back. now that i have depression as part of me, it became easier to know when it came and i had a way to get on my feet.

about those offended by this, it just makes perfect sense.

"tried to live your life" would mean finishing it until the finish line. not making yourself a finish line.

i can relate much to this. 

nice work btw
