Been a long, long time

It's been a long time since I've been here.

Not sure whether that's a good thing or a bad thing? Whenever I do come, I always find myself reading through old entries and they're nothing but depression. I'm glad they're there but it makes it so hard to stay here for long and then all the impetus of posting is gone before it even started.

Hey you. I totally agree with your assessment of Landsdowne, though I'm not fond if what Richmond Centre is turning into either. Each time I come back to Vancouver I find more and more of my past stripped away, which I guess is the price of leaving.

Hope things get better, or at least stay tolerable. I have trouble getting people to understand that depression is a condition, like asthma. You don't get better. It's always there. The trick is how to distract yourself. And drugs.

Wow. Hey back at you.

Thanks, I guess this entry doesn't really convey it, but things are much better. And have been for a while yet.
But you're still completely right, depression never fully goes away, it's a condition one lives with all your life. Just sometimes it's more present and sometimes it's so far back it's barely noticable. And thankfully (and miraculously, even when life still isn't top-notch) it has been barely noticeable for a couple years now.

Hope you're doing well?

Glad to hear things are better. I'm all right, finishing up the last 2 days of a much needed break. Work's treating me like shit but worm treats everyone like shit, so it's a great equalizer in that respect.

I have no Internet at home in Richmond right now, so I resorted to going to the library and reading books. Reading actual books! What's next, hunting and gathering? Anyway one of the books I borrowed is this YA nov called It's Kind of a Funny Story. It contains the most realistic (yet funny) description of depression I've ever read. Plus LaurenGraham is in the movie, so.
