It’s not the “Holiday Season;” it’s me. I’m depressed, that is all there is to it. It seems so cliched to be depressed at this time of year. There is nothing I hate worse than being a statistic. Of course, I struggle with depression year-round, but for the past month, I’ve felt like I am... Continue Reading →
It is time for me to admit the truth: I don’t like the “Holiday Season.” While most of America engages in traditions of greed and gluttony, I just want to be able to do what I enjoy. But, it feels like the world won’t leave me alone. Each year, I try to have a better... Continue Reading →
