{"text":"My sadness is beautiful. It infuses everything I do. It is at the core of my identity and always has been, just as happiness is in some people. I refuse to be told that it's a flaw.

I will hold it close to me and celebrate it rightfully while the rest of the world fails to see it for what it is and it will be their loss.","author":"Ashly Lorenzana","tags":["antidepressants","depression","human","identity","medicine","melancholy","mental-health","mental-illness","mood-disorders","moody","personality","psychiatry","psychology","sadness"],"id":223014,"author_id":"Ashly+Lorenzana"}
