A New Beginning...?

"Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born."

-Anais Nin


Chase is one of the strongest people I know, but he's also extremely hard on himself. 

Someone once said that you are your own worst critic, and he's the epitome of the adage. 

We both fight with our own bouts of depression, but his can be so much worse than mine at times. Luckily, I can manage my "dark times" a little better at times. However, during one of our late-night on-the-porch conversations, I encouraged him to work on his writing. It'd be a great thing for both of us to use the Writers' Workbox exercises, to use our blogs (still hate that word) to get "it" all out when it becomes too loud in our heads. 

I'm proud of him too. The things he's been going through would bring most people to their knees. So I'm very happy that he's making something out of our conversation. 

Hopefully, this will prompt him to work on his book. Maybe I can get something done with mine too!
