“Depression is real; too many lives lost. I faced depression, I battled it and I won. You can win. First thing to do is not to let people define your happiness. We all have our races; our paths are different. First to do no mean last man standing o. If anyone runs past you, does better than you or has anything you want and don’t have, just wave and say 'I will catch up, see ya later'.
