Words Of Comfort From A Good Neighbor

Some days I just really need to hear this. I'm sure a few of you do too.

Quickie

This article further reinforces what I was saying earlier about sharing my bad days on here. I think it was incredibly brave of Stephen Fry to tell this story to the world. He's a person I admire greatly for his prodigious wit and way with words (let's face it: the man's a freaking genius), and knowing that he's had troubled times in spite of his success makes me feel a little bit less alone and thus makes me a little bit stronger.

So thank you, Stephen Fry, for being courageous enough to share your "dark night of the soul" moment with us. And most importantly, thank you for still being with us!

Birthday!

It's my birthday today, so I just wanted to post this to myself 'cause I love it so. It'll be stuck in my head all day, and that's not a bad thing!

This time last year was a mess. My first serious relationship had just ended (at the time suddenly but in hindsight not so much), and I was battling undiagnosed depression. I'm amazed and quite proud of myself for how much progress I've made in a year, and I'm determined that this birthday is going to be a great one! And the Simon Pegg birthday song is, of course, the essential first step.

Off to celebrate!
