"The best I can say is that it's better for me to write about despair and darkness than to be incapable of getting off the sofa. It's better to write about suicide than to contemplate it too heavily."

Paul Westerberg


This is my journal for posting the deep inner thoughts that I don't feel comfortable telling my friends. This way they don't have to worry...and I don't have to justify my thoughts and feelings to them. I know it's just their way of showing they care, but platitudes don't help, nor do the constant questions - assuring themselves that I'm okay, when I know I'm not. But what am I supposed to say? They don't really want to know the truth. Besides, it's easier to share the truth with strangers, isn't it?



You may not know it, but at the far end of despair,
there is a white clearing where one is almost happy.
