Chronic sadness with a dash of rage.

As much as I don't like relying on medicine, I have to admit that my most recent round of normality boosters (read: the things that have been keeping me moderately stable for the past nine months) do ...

I really have to stop doing this.

Ghost of girlfriends future.

This trembling, adored, tousled, bird-mad girl.

I'm sure there's someone out there keeping track to make sure I'm not dead, so here I am, not dead. It's funny and a little dizzying how quickly my mind shifts gears; over the course of typing t...
