Conviction for Blogging in Chicago

I am strongly convicted to resume personal blogging here, as I deem it fit as one of the only outlets that I currently have (other than alcohol, or in combination with alcohol) for letting off frustration, loneliness, sadness, and, to a lesser degree, disappointment.  Perhaps, it is an attempt for me to fend off any one, or combination, of them, including depression.

I think depression is real.  You don't know it unless you've had it.

You don't know anyone else's suffering until you've experienced it firsthand yourself.
