“I felt like I had been numb most of my life, and now I craved being able to have real feelings: the joy, the sadness, and everything in between.”

“चाँदनी की पाँच परतें,
हर परत अज्ञात है ।
एक जल में,
एक थल में,
एक नीलाकाश में ।
एक आँखों में तुम्हारे झिलमिलाती,
एक मेरे बन रहे विश्वास में ।
क्या कहूँ , कैसे कहूँ.....
कितनी जरा सी बात है ।
चाँदनी की पाँच परतें, हर परत अज्ञात है ।
एक जो मैं आज हूँ ,
एक जो मैं हो न पाया,
एक जो मैं हो न पाऊँगा कभी भी,
एक जो होने नहीं दोगी मुझे तुम,
एक जिसकी है हमारे बीच यह अभिशप्त छाया ।
क्यों सहूँ ,कब तक सहूँ....
कितना कठिन आघात है ।
चाँदनी की पाँच परतें, हर परत अज्ञात है ।”

“The day drags through though storms keep out the sun;
And thus the heart will break, yet brokenly live on:
Even as a broken mirror, which the glass
In every fragment multiplies; and makes
A thousand images of one that was,
The same, and still the more, the more it breaks;
And thus the heart will do which not forsakes,
Living in shattered guise, and still, and cold,
And bloodless, with its sleepless sorrow aches,
Yet withers on till all without is old,
Showing no visible sign, for such things are untold.”
― The Complete Poetical Works of Byron

And thus the heart will do which not forsakes,
Living in shattered guise, and still, and cold,
And bloodless, with its sleepless sorrow aches,
Yet withers on till all without is old,
Showing no visible sign, for such things are untold.”

“When you come out of the grips of a depression there is an incredible relief, but not one you feel allowed to celebrate. Instead, the feeling of victory is replaced with anxiety that it will happen again, and with shame and vulnerability when you see how your illness affected your family, your work, everything left untouched while you struggled to survive. We come back to life thinner, paler, weaker … but as survivors. Survivors who don’t get pats on the back from coworkers who congratulate them on making it. Survivors who wake to more work than before because their friends and family are exhausted from helping them fight a battle they may not even understand. I hope to one day see a sea of people all wearing silver ribbons as a sign that they understand the secret battle, and as a celebration of the victories made each day as we individually pull ourselves up out of our foxholes to see our scars heal, and to remember what the sun looks like.”
