Reading Allie Brosh’s latest post about depression was extremely difficult for me. While it was amazing and truthful and beautifully done, I found my mouse pointer hovering to close the tab. I read the whole thing, but there were many times I just wanted to click the button and go look at kittens on the internet. 

Her recent experience with depression very closely mirrors how I was many years ago. Before this blog. Before I knew I had a way to reach people and entertain them. My emotions stopped working. I found it impossible to care about anything. Especially myself. I would interact with people who expected me to be “funny comedy guy!” and at that point in time I thought that part of me was dead. But I didn’t want to disappoint anyone. So I tried very hard to pretend to be “funny comedy guy!” which resulted in some of the most horrific attempts at humor ever known to this earth.

I put on the faces I thought people wanted to see. 

But I’ve worked hard to get my emotional self back. My journey through depression is further along than Allie’s. But being reminded of that time brought me to tears several times. In the end, I’m glad I didn’t close the tab. Reading her story helped remind me how far I’ve come. It reminded me how glad I am that I stuck around.

I can imagine playing a villain at Disneyland to be a very delicate, but rather fun job.

Just the Tip…

C’mon, it’ll feel good, promise.

This might beat my previous tip jar favorite:

“If you fear change, leave it here.”

POOR BBS!!!!!!! D:  But still LOL!!!  :D!!!

I feel like a bad human being for laughing so hard at the misfortune of these poor cats.

Too bad, because it’s pretty hilarious.

Sadly, I love my fanfiction habit way too much to abandon it now.
