As Helen Keller once said, “Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.” Yet as a depressed person, I have watched life pass me by. I isolated and hid from relationships. And I withdrew from activities that could have involved me in life. But I know now that creating and taking part in adventures is what makes life worth living. Today I can be alive to all the experiences I have and take in the excitement. I resolve not to withdraw from life but to be fully part of it.
