I've thought about taking down my last few posts. As I mentioned before, with everything that's going on in the world right now, writing about the personal experience I'm having just seems so utterly (I said this before) self-indulgent. And I may still delete them.
But before (and if!) I do, I'd like to write about this weekend's rainstorms because weather drama! Typically, rain is my least favorite weather condition. Dude. I am all about the sun. But right now as I hear it pattering against my bedroom window, and as I stood on my front porch last night just so I could smell it as it rolled in from the west desert, I was filled with surprising gratitude for it and the beauty of the natural world.
Thank you, rain.

I really enjoyed your post today. I would feel bad if you took down the posts, especially for the reason you stated. The posts are not self-indulgent. They are real. As such, I find them to be beauties from the natural world.
I really enjoy your writing. You are able to say things in a way I can really relate to. Know that you are not the only one fighting the terrible disease of depression. Keep speaking your truth.
Don't erase any of it.
