Depression is not just sadness, it’s not just hopelessness, it’s a state of mind that consumes your entire being. It ruminates in your soul and causes you to believe your extraordinary life isn’t worth living. But I’m here to tell YOU, it is. Your beautiful, miraculous life is worth living, feeling and experiencing, don’t let depression take that away from you. Your past wounds don’t have to define your present. You can heal what’s buried in your heart and make room for the divine to work its magic in your life. The power to change is within you but first you must believe that you are capable. The remedy for your pain is your power to overcome it. Let the Universe’s magnetic vibration pull you forward to a new enchanting reality, the reality where you rule and depression lost its battle to consume and destroy you. Take back your power, I love and believe in you. . . ~ Jeaneva Rose, your lady in the Universe.
