There's no way of telling which path your depression will take. So, make peace with depression. It's not an enemy. As with any illness, it needs ongoing acceptance and healing. We should be taught not to wait for inspiration to start a thing.
Action always generates inspiration.
Inspiration seldom generates action. They have more energy, get angry less quickly, are less prone to physical illness, and are free from addictions. They laugh more and care more about themselves and their fellow human beings. They are more productive, tolerant, giving, and forgiving. Well, neither have we.
