(no subject)
So tonight's prompt over on 60_minute_fics has to do with the Psalms and links to the Bible online.
I'd forgotten how much I love reading the Bible. I get nothing out of it in a religious context, I don't walk away feeling incredibly inspired or spiritual or even fulfilled. Something about it just kind of relaxes me for some reason. I think it's because with the exception of one read-through, every time I've read the Bible it wasn't as religious doctrine, but as a story book. I can get lost in the stories without getting tangled up in the fiasco that is religion.

Today sucked. Right after Russian, my first class, I kind of fell in to this--as cliche as it is--pit of despair. I don't know where it came from or what caused it, but it happened. All I wanted to do was drop out and go away and never ever come back. It was the overwhelming sadness and hopelessness that just sucks the will to breathe out of you. All I wanted to do was curl up and cry and never stop, but I couldn't cry. I pulled the covers over my head and skipped my last two classes and tried not to think or move.
I hate this.
