“The art of tea, whichever way you drink it, or whichever country you are from, has one underlining thread for all of us.

Making a cup of tea creates a space for just being.”
― Nicola Salter

“Depression is a disorder of mood, so mysteriously painful and elusive in the way it becomes known to the self--to the mediating intellect--as to verge close to being beyond description.

― William Styron , Darkness Visible: A Memoir of Madness

“Anti-depressants are just tools, one of many, which we use to try and ease the suffering, numb the pain and disperse the dark clouds in our mind in the hope that maybe, just maybe, a little sunlight will shine through.”

“I don't want to do anything. I don't even want to start this day because then I'll just be expected to finish it.”
