So Far Gone
I think … I’m losing my mind. (Read: this blog will make zero sense). Or perhaps, I’ve already lost it. I can’t remember the last time I saw it. Or the last place we went. Or what I was doing the last time I had it. But I am certainly hoping it hasn’t been permanently…

We, as a society, need to talk about things like depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia etc. We need to stop turning a blind eye to those who show signs of an issue just because we can’t fathom it ourselves or because it only shows through sometimes….

The Trouble With Hope
Above everything else, I believe hope is what keeps us as humans going. Hope, that tells us to stick to our day jobs because one day it will pay off or something better will come along as a result of our work ethic. Hope, that makes us save money so one day we can buy…
