Right now I'm in a car driving from Bristol Virginia to Nashville Tennessee. Its a four hour drive but from my hometown of Powhatan it's an eight hour drive. My mom and step-dad go for hours and my dad brings me the other four hours. For the first two hours of this trip my two year old brother was crying and screaming. Fun. This is why I need this break... But anyway, my dad put on a bunch of cool music such as songs by Metric, The Decemberists, and Airborne Toxic Event. This isn't exactly a rant, sort of an update. Sorry if you wanted a reason to see injustice in the world. I'm an optimist so life through my eyes is pretty great, or when theres nothing good to make of it, pretty sarcastic. My boyfriend sent me a message saying he wanted to steal me with him to Russia. Sounds actually sort of fun but I doubt we'll still be a couple when we turn old enough to go there together. Normally I joke him about his Russian and Communist ideals but after yesterday I think its better to take everything slow. Not that he's a heathen or anything. He's sensitive but at the same time depressed so theres a fun combination of sadness. I have some advice for anyone in love with someone who's depressed. You have to be careful what you say to them because if they're sensitive then the hurt of your words will multiply into either sadness or anger. Be careful with these people and make sure you're actually ready to always be there to help and support them. I know from a phase of extreme depression that all you really ever want is for someone to admit that they don't understand but have them still try. Whether you're their best friend or their romantic partner. Okay sorry about that. I hope everyone has a great spring break!
