Hey everyone. Just posting to let you know i'm still around. LOLS. Well i've been doing a lot of thinking lately. It all started with a question my friend asked me- "If you had to pick...which sense would you lose? Smell, Touch, taste, hearing?" I told her i'd rather lose my sense of smell. I actually had to do a lot of thinking about the answer.

When you really think about it- People can't lose their sense of touch because it's nessary for humans to have touch of something, or at least that's what i've heard. People can't lose their sense of taste because that would drive people to thinking..."Well if i can't taste it, why eat?" That is the one thing that people don't want to hear, anorexia is enough of a problem with taste. People can't lose hearing because....what wpuld happen if you make music for a living? Or if you live for music?

I for one would probably die or lose who i am completely without music. Music is my flow of life. It's something i don't see myself living without.

On that note i'm gonna slide into the subject of depression, just for a moment. I have, over the weekend, purchased this book called- A Bright Red Scream by- Marilee Strong. It is amazingly written and takes my breath away. The following is a passage from the book-

"The first step, however, does not involve any more neurochemistry than the effort it takes to listen with compassion" ~Marilee Strong

Its a really good book and i recommend it for anyone who has been through this problem or has encountered it before or is still struggling today.

I myself am dealing with this problem. This book should hopefully help me. Poems also help me. I want to make a book of my poems even though i have no clue where to start. I'm going to ask two of my old english teachers from last year to write either a forward or a passage message for the book. Keep a look out for it if it hopefully gets released ^^

PEACE!
