This is half in jest, half in seriousness, but wow, I've seen all these things all my life and I've learned there is no cookie-cutter cycle for depression or depressed people.

If anything happens to me, I'd like to think that people knew I cared about them. And that certain people knew they could count on me no matter what. I'd like to believe that so much. I want to believe that.

Life's not easy right now. But maybe I'll look back and say I had it all when things get worse. :)
Maybe. I'm talking to much. Maybe.
