Depression is truly a disease of the mind. It eats away at the very marrow of one's bones, sapping up a person's energy and utterly draining him or her of desire, inspiration and a sense of purpose. All of life's finer sensitivities are lost on the dulled senses of chronic sadness. Every part of one's existence is affected; jobs, romances, family interaction, friendships. To be one half of a partnership in this condition adds a lot of extra strain on the relationship. The depression hangs around like a cloud of sickness and infects those who are closest to the affected person.

No common medicine can cure this ailment. Healing comes slowly and with forced and effortful steps towards healthy choices. It is a game of trial and error trying to find something, anything to live for aside from fear of the alternative. Ay, there's the rub. For what dreams may come when we have shuffled off this mortal coil must give us pause.

It's been particularly hard recently. I'm always feeling so low. I want to be happy but it isn't something you can fake. Nothing about my current life is doing it for me. I need a major change.

Gas prices are up to $4.29 in some gas stations here in Michigan. It is only a matter of time before it hits the $5 a gallon mark.
I am buying a bicycle and riding it to work. No lie.
I am not selling my truck for three reasons;
1) In case of inclement weather or the snowy winter months that MI is privy to,
2) For when I have to open the store and don't feel like waking up at 4 am and biking 2 hours before starting my shift at 7,
and 3) Because I love the fuck out of my Pink Thunder.
But in all seriousness, I am going to save money and possibly even develop a toned, sexy body under my meager marshmallow fluff when all of these things in my brain actualize.

I have pockets of quarters
But no change to spare.
I have two functioning eyes
But no reason to stare.
Maybe we could be good for each other.
Maybe we could be
In another life;
Take me there.

I have gold in my chest
But the locket is closed.
I have laid to rest
Feelings God only knows.
Maybe we could be good for each other.
Maybe we could be
In another time;
Take me there.

I have a winter coat
But no forecast for snow.
I have two running shoes
But no reason to go.
Maybe we could be good for each other.
Maybe we could be
On another day;
Take me there.

I'm not that pessimistic, guys. Really. :]
