A Constant Battle at the 'Burg


I truly do not understand how we, not only myself but my immediate environment of friends, can never seem to catch a break. There seems to constantly be something popping up and taking control of our lives, and we can not shake it.

In eighth grade things were easeir, because these "deep dark secrets" that enveloped our lives, went away. There was constantly something, but no issue was ever important enough to last longer than a few months. We were there for one another, dedicated our time and energy to one another's sustainability and sanity. But things are so much different now.

I have been in college going on three years now, and those dark issues are still as prevalent today as they were when I first began here. No one tells you that part of your college experience, is watching your friends go in-and-out of therapy. That anxiety, depression, anorexia, sexual assault and so ff==dmufuckingfuckingmore- damn. I'm tired.
