    Depression is like a black hole; it sucks in everything and leaves her in the dark. She sits there in this place that she can’t escape from, the gravity is too heavy to fight. Sometimes the bought will last for a few weeks, sometimes a few months. There is not a timeline for her to plan for, other than she must keep pushing through. That’s what her friends will say. That’s what the doctors will say. That’s what society will say. It’s very comparable to winter in the Midwest. Will she get a day of sunshine here or there? Yes, but ultimately, it’s back to the cold, snowy filled days where she is...03Ione door

    I Spy

    My Dad says I’m paranoid. I think that’s like someone who’s connected to the paranormal. Like on my favorite shows. I like sci-fi. Those stories are so interesting. They feel real. Not like day-to-day life, which gets kind of tedious sometimes. And boring. You never know what adventure will happen in sci-fi. Add a splash of fantasy and all bets are off.

Every few weeks he travels from New York to Washington DC, by train. He thinks it’s good...03Ione door
