It can be very, very difficult to acknowledge or find, but some say there are gifts in our depression:
“terrible gifts.”
Depression is, to put it mildly, an unwanted guest in our minds and bodies.
Yet, for those who experience it regularly,
it can help to look for some value, some lessons or even inspiration in the experience.
Kristin “owns her shadow,”
and uses depression’s voice to express herself in poetry.
Hers is a gentle, allowing and unique perspective on an illness many of us simply despise.
