Playing Oasis (Dig Out Your Soul) very loud, tinkering with old and new photographs, reading Cowbird stories, contemplating going out with the camera now that the grey clouds are lifting.

All occupations designed to soothe my mind. Recollections of deep memories often leave me feeling splintered. Today is no exception.

One of the least palatable aspects of depression, however well-controlled it seems to be, is that it never wholly abandons you.

I wish it were otherwise.
