This book was born out of a transformation.
The protagonist of the story is the author himself. She is a girl who has fallen into depression bit by bit since childhood, a girl who was hurt by negative emotions such as sadness, vulnerability, low self-esteem, powerlessness, anxiety, anger, etc., And finally transformed into a life-loving girl who is busy making herself happy every day.
In the first half of the work, the author uses calm and gentle words to describe how depression has eroded her world, coupled with exaggerated and abstract paintings, subtly expressing how depression controls her body and mind, trapping her and preventing her from moving forward.
In the second half of the work, the author's words and painting style began to become wise and lively, and the accumulated pain gave her an epiphany: anger and sadness come from the past, anxiety and fear point to the future, and only happiness belongs to the present! In the process of integrating her body and mind and living each moment well, we not only see that she successfully healed herself, but also discovered that only by letting go of obsessions and resentments can we be qualified to see the truth of life.
For her now, depression has been regarded as a gift of life, because depression has given her a fuller life experience and the opportunity to view life from more perspectives.
