Hey guys, so I promised y'all an explanation for why I vanished for so long. For the longest time I've struggled with depression, and it got really bad around my freshman year. Sophomore year I basically turned into a vegetable, all I did after school was stare at the walls and try to keep from crying or hurting myself. Junior year I decided I wanted to be try and live a normal life, so I joined marching band again, you know just as something to take up some time. Well, it worked, I didn't feel this crippling weight whenever I tried to move, like, the air was trying to crush me and it hurt to just breathe. I helped start an indoor percussion program at our school, and I found myself with no free time. It was good, I couldn't do something utterly stupid again if I didn't have the time to do it. Senior year I did Marching Band, Indoor Percussion, a community orchestra, and played my violin in the pit for my schools production of Peter Pan. I was never home. Well, I'm in college now and things are getting better, so I've decided to try and do something that used to bring me a bit of joy, once upon a time. So there you have it, I wish I could change things but I can't, so I'm sorry for disappearing for so long.
