Someone who I used to like, then didn’t like at all, then didn’t really think about either way, used to have a T-shirt with this quote on it and a picture of some despondent bakery items. Despondency has hit the bakery. I didn’t like the T-shirt that much, but I always liked the words. Think on.

This is a guest post by Anthony on behalf of Janet Stones Counselling. In a confrontational move, thousands of people suffering from anxiety and depression are being moved from the therapy couch and placed in front of their own keyboards.

I took nifty photos of the wicker man burning, made my own twig staff with a star on the top, and everything. Then on the way home, everything kind of died. again.
