The Rest is Still Unwritten
2007-07-10 14:50:00 I had a friend break up with me last night. Gawd that sounds so teen angst-y doesn’t it? It feels that way.

A Point to Ponder
2007-07-05 00:13:00 Recently it was pointed out that (paraphrasing) a true measure of a person’s ethics is what they do when they think no one is looking.

2007-06-29 23:18:00 I’ve written about the misconceptions people have about depression, and how it’s so much more than just feeling blue or having a bad day.
