Life It seems to be a common thread in my life. And I feel fully unprepared for it.
From my family and friends, the good and bad men in my life and now my own child, it just seems to run rampant.
None of us are prepared for it, too. It's like the world's dirty little secret. We have tons and tons of education processes for folks to learn about physical ailments, there's run for a cure, and the labor day marathon for MD; but, who the fuck does anything for mental illness. None. So very little is known. And it's a guessing game. Just like physical ailments, early detection is key to being able to live a "normal" life.
But when the cure is medicate to zombie-hood...that doesn't really seem like a very normal or high quality of life.
People, let me tell you something. Be sure you know the genetics of the partner you choose to breed with, if at all possible. The consequences can be severe.
