“I take my mental temperature often. I have changed my sleeping habits. I give up on things more readily. I am more tolerant of other people. I am more determined not to waste the happy time I can find. A thinner and finer thing has happened to my self; it won’t take the kind of punching it used to take, and little windows go right through it, but there are also passages that are fine and delicate and luminous as egg. To regret my depression now would be to regret the most fundamental part of myself.”
