    These were all things I once was. I used to be loving. I used to care. I used to be honest, I used to be there. I used to be gentle. I used to be kind. I used to be happy. I used to be lucky. I used to be beautiful. That was before the depression.

     That is what depression feels like. It darkens your soul. It takes every happy memory, every good feeling, and dimolishes it. It fills your mind with dark thoughts and poisons your very being. It eats away at the person you once were and changes you into a monster. It's merciless and cruel.

    True beauty is found after the storm, not during. What ever you are dealing with, no matter the Big or small, God has a plan for you. As you can see, the word "valuable" is shown four times. This is because no matter what we are feeling and no matter what we are going/have been through. God still finds us valuable. Hang in there and let your true value shine.
