thank you for your kindness

66

The Internet in 2017 (at least in my personal experience, which is absolutely affected by my depression) is so flooded by casual cruelty, it is overwhelming and suffocating and exhausting. Thank you for showing and reminding me that good and kind people are in this world. Thank you for taking the time and making the effort to reach out to me. You didn’t have to...

2017 has definitely been a weird year all around. Being positive and, paraphrasing Gandhi, living the message has been taxing everywhere it seems. Keep at it. As I just heard in a movie "there are two wolves always fighting. One of darkness and despair, one of light and goodness. The one we feed wins." So keep feeding your good and light side, the world still has a want for you. Everyone had their own way about this so keep finding your way. I did it this year through a backup team for a Personal Effectiveness Seminar with Wings Seminars. (Bit of a shameless plug: could be worth trying something like that to help ring in the new year). And as someone famous once said: "See you... out there!"

thirty years ago

I wrote this last night.

30 years ago today, John Carpenter's Prince of Darkness was released.

That means that 30 years ago tnight, I was at the AMC 10 in Burbank.

Today, that part of Burbank is filled with businesses and chain restaurants and street performers. 30 years ago, there was the theater, a parking garage, a Fuddrucker’s that’s still there and still terrible, and...

Sometimes, days like that remind me of the days my dad and I were close, and before he passed away...  When he used to take me to Boston and there was a huge Warner Brothers store filled with Marvin the Martian merchandise and his spaceship you could climb into and play with the controls, but all they really did was color in a photo via computer, which was then printed out...  That area has been turned into a food court and a big Barnes and Nobel, and when I worked in that mall when I was in college, I'd ride the subway to the stop under the mall, walk up the stairs, get my Starbucks from B&N because they were free as long as I worked at the store I worked at (Game Stop)... we got huge discounts in a bunch of places back then.  Anyway, as I picked up my iced coffee, I would die a little inside because I knew that it used to be a place of joy for me and my father as a child.  Those days also remind me of when my dad would let me skip school on my birthday, and would take me to The Roger Williams Park Zoo back in my hometown in Rhode Island.  The park around it was beautiful, and contained structures made of Roman-like architecture, and there was this tree that we always sat on with a branch that was low to the ground and drank Del's Lemonade after being at the zoo...  I believe they have cut the branch off the tree not too long ago as to not encourage kids to climb it, and I doubt I'd recognize it or the zoo anymore.  They used to let the Lemurs out on nice days, and they'd just sit on a fence where the keepers watched them, and encouraged us to pet them since they were hand-raised.  I remember feeding one.  I doubt they do that anymore.  I haven't been back "home" in like 5 years, and that was when I wasn't as sick as I am now...  I just feel like, even though my family lives there, I have no ties there anymore.  My dad's gone, my mom coddles my older sister, and I feel like a stranger there now...

I have this idea ...

... to do a week of daily posts that are like SG CLASSICS or THE OG SGs or whatever. Just sort of a tribute to some of the SGs from the years who I think of as the canonical Suicide Girls.

Before I invest the time: anyone want to see that?

depression (still) lies

One of the super fun things about living with depression and anxiety is how my idiot brain can go from “CAN DO!” to “EXISTENCE IS SUFFERING” faster than you can wish to take two strokes off your golf game. So today started out normal, and very quickly became a rough day. One of the ways I help myself through days like today, is to acknowledge...
