I was doing really well. Something caused me to slip backward in the last week or two, and I don’t really know what it was. Of course, I have thought about the fact that the melancholy could have origins which have absolutely nothing to do with them, but since it is just ambiguously there, I’ve pinned it on an existing situation.

I tend to absorb the goings-on around me. Some people call that being an empath, I just think that I’m sensitive to other people and to the climate around me. I learned to be hyper vigilant in my early childhood. And the climate hasn’t been the most uplifting, lately.

ANYWAY. Your thread.
