An absolute gem. If there is something I could possibly add to this wonderful summary, it'd be to further stress the importance of peace in our lives.

I am yet to really experience a startup first-hand but have had a strong bipolar commotion only recently. I really can connect with what Zak feels and no amount of persuasion can repel that feeling of emptiness.

When you go through the lows it's hard not to get hit by the enormity of it all. You begin to see just how puny an existence you truly are. And at the same time how lucky to have all those people who are there for you no matter what. Deep gratitude overwhelms you.

I don't think I can add much about fighting startup depression though I wish to share this one thing I came to learn. And that is that peace cannot be bought. You have to earn it. And that success does not cut it. You have to let go of things that hold you back.

Happiness is essentially a habit. Fall in love again. Do crazy things. Life is hard and startups harder. But kudos to friends that make the gloomy bits easier to handle. :)
