"I felt that funeral in my brain,
and I sat next to the colossus at the edge of the world,
and I have discovered something inside of myself that I have to call a soul,
that I'd never formulated until... hell came to pay me a surprise visit.
I think that while I hated being depressed,
and would hate to be depressed again,
I found a way to love my depression.
I love it because it has forced me to find and cling to joy.
I love it because each day I decide--sometimes keenly,
and sometimes against the moment's reason--to cleave to the reasons for living.
And that, I think, is a highly privileged rapture."
