Depression is a sly, elusive, yet effective, teacher.
It teaches perseverance.
It teaches patience.
It teaches compassion.
It teaches kindness.
It teaches awareness.
It teaches empathy.
It teaches courage.
It teaches love.
It teaches life.
Depression teaches us what matters most in life, and also, what doesn't matter at all.
Its lessons can be difficult to learn, but if we listen and open our minds, depression can be a shrewd and powerful teacher.
