"You don't think in depression that you've put on a gray veil and are seeing the world through the haze of a bad mood. You think that the veil has been taken away, the veil of happiness, and that now you're seeing truly." - Andrew Solomon
I just read this, it's from a TED talk. It's so true, isn't it? We don't see the world truly when depressed.... .. or when under the thumb of alcohol.
