It is not weakness
This journal is dedicated to the many beautiful people who also struggle with diseases of the mind, so wrongly dismissed and stigmatized. Depression, anxiety and other such conditions are as real as any other disease, even if they do not have easily diagnosed physical manifestations. That only makes it harder. People say it is "only" in your head but the pain of diseases they'd condone is also an interpretation of the brain. That is what pain is -- does it matter the cause? Depression is not weakness. Depression is not a choice. Depression is not something you need to just get over. If you suffer with it, know that you are not alone and there

Looking forward
I have thought a while of what I would write here... I have both lost and gained more in the past few years than I have in any other period of my life. I cannot say that everything is through, but am stronger and wiser than I was.
I have been reading more of late, including The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman. It was beautiful, elegiac and profound, a book that resonated with my soul and lingers long after the reading is done.
I need to create again. I read through what I have written of Lyrium and Ashes and there are parts that still make me happy and others that could use further work and the parts that I wrote on the first go
