The clovers with a fourth leaf are the weird ones, that's what makes them lucky.
I gotta be honest. Right now, my depression cycle is hitting hard. During the early months of the year, the depression cycle of my Bipolar I disorder rears its ugly head. I grow lethargic and unmotivated, and my world becomes really insular as a result. All I can really handle is going to work, if that.… Continue reading tv that soothes the soul
Unpopular opinion time... I believe in the cathartic power of quitting. Being a "quitter" is seen as weak. People love to act like sticking with things makes them a martyr, like they're somehow better or stronger for refusing to quit.
