About Me

My photo
I'm an avid swing dancer, a proud Minnesotan by birth, and I've got a soft spot for Boston. I love anything British, used bookstores, and delicious smells emanating from the kitchen.

A 6-year hiatus

So, it's been almost seven years since my last post. And so many things have happened in that time. The one thing that never changes: depression and I still live together. We have our moments, but overall, we live very peaceably together these days. I'm revamping this blog because it's something deeply personally and very important to me. I used to post to it anonymously - I had a separate gmail account for it any everything. But I realized that I wasn't really being real that way. I was adding to the nameless, faceless mass of people who suffer from depression everyday due to societal stigmas and fears. I firmly believe that this attitude toward depression (and all other mental health disorders and diseases) is debilitating and unjust in our current society. And so, I am putting my name on it. Proudly. Have a read at posts I did in my mid-20s. And watch for new content as I put life back into this blog.

Stay strong. --Nina
