❝The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away.❞
– Pablo Picasso
This story was inspired by one of my favourite actors, Jared Padalecki. He made me realise how depression can hit anyone, no matter how perfect they may seem, and that depression is rarely, if ever, a thing of logic. Each individual has their own unique struggle with it, and the path to recovery is never easy. There will be ups and downs, twists and turns and maybe somewhere along the way you may break down and fear you will never get up again. But believe me when I say that you can, and you will.
Never forget that you are not alone, and that you do not have to struggle with your demons alone. There are people that care for you, even if you may not believe it. Having someone – anyone, be it your parents, friends, lovers, therapists, people on wattpad – to help you along the way is okay. Being scared is okay. Never give up, and always keep fighting.
Repeat after me, "I will not give up."
❝Everyone is given a candle that burns just for them. When your flame flickers and you fear it will go out, know not even the strongest wind lasts forever; and there are other lights to guide you even in the Darkness...And when your candle burns bright, you can ignite the hearts of others and hope will spread like wildfire...Always Keep Fighting, and you'll never fight alone.❞
