711

lyra calls 711 the slurpy store cause that's the only reason we usually go there. so, yesterday eric was taking the kids out and passed by 711.

lyra says - dad, i want to go to the slurpy store.

eric says - you know lyra, it's really called 711

lyra says - why do they call it that?

eric says - i guess because it rhymes

lyra thinks about it for a minute and says: dad, 711 doesn't rhyme with slurpy store

blue pills again

so, how is it that i am 18 years into school and i still get caught inside the anti-depressant loop? i know what depression looks like on others and on myself. i know that some people need meds and others probably do not. i need them. so...how is it that every year - give or take - i decide that i can do it without meds. i can go to a guru who knows pressure points or i can do behavioral modifications or i can take lots of baths...this makes me understand how much advocacy depressed people need. i AM educated and i still get lost in the disease, no wonder so many suffer the way they do.
