The time has come to make a 2016 New Year’s Resolution. In 2014 I resolved that I would beat my depression. I talked to my doctor, I had therapy, I took supplements, I went to the gym, I took up a sport, I talked to my friends, I tried to change my schedule, and I tried to change the way I thought. I did a lot of things. I’d love to say that they worked or that I succeeded, but it didn’t go like that, I doubt it ever does. Things changed, for sure. And I continued, and continue, to try and find ways in which things aren’t working, and try to fix them. I explored part of that in ‘ I’m Not Saying Sorry Anymore . ’ This is a continuation of that story.

Every now and then I come up with something I feel would make a good quote. A perfect statement or rant that, were I famous, might find its way onto Tumblr or Facebook or something. I’m not famous, and no-one has any especial reason to listen to me – but I felt this quote was worth putting out there anyway. I wish I could stand behind this quote in a lot of ways, I’m not quite this confident and centred and untouchable and full of fraternal sympathies as this might make me seem, but one day I hope to be. I imagine finding myself interviewed and the interviewer saying something like, “You take a lot of heat from trolls on the internet saying that you can’t sing, how does that make you feel?”
