"It's so easy not to try..."

I slept for over 12 hours today.

I woke up and immediately got high.

I put on sad music and cried my eyes out.

It was a familiar well of depression. It was so alluring, and I wanted to spend forever there. I thought about suicide. It's almost a reflex at this point, like an alcoholic craving a drink.

Then the music changed. It got older and more universal. "Hello, darkness, my old friend..."

It reminded me that we've been here before. We know the way through.

It's gonna suck, no doubt. But it's the only option.

"It's so easy not to try..." We've been pulling a lot from Tolkien's work because it was, at its core, about the pursuit of hope in the darkest of times. We are not going to give up. We are going to go on. Because this world is worth fighting for.

I believe love is worth fighting for. So, don't give up. Because I love you. And I will continue to fight for a better world for all of us.
