the_siobhanThe thing about coming out of a lengthy depressive period is that stuff that would normally feel really good is inflated to OMG REALLY REALLY REALLY GOOD. This isn't even mania talking. I'm not over-inflating the positive emotions. It's just awareness of the massive contrast against how I felt about six months ago.
When the mood is right, I can even look upon my depression as a sort of gift. Every day without it becomes a good day by default, no matter what worries or irritations fall into my path. I can count myself lucky because the banal shit has no power to touch me.
I can't promise I won't go down in flames but I know I will never be nibbled to death by ducks.
Today life feels like a really good place to be.
What I'm listening to right this second: Dreadnaughts. I found out about these guys because their founding member used to be in a band called Siobhan. The last show announcement they sent me finished with, "Hope you are all well and that you still occasionally think of Siobhan every time you`re completely wasted." Ha.
