Ti Amo

I love you. I can say it to myself oh so easily and yet to speak this to another can be very hard for me. "Ti amo" seems to roll off the tongue a lot easier and landed me with a girlfriend in Italy  but "I love you" doesn't want to be said. Maybe I should have stuck with an Italian girlfriend.

Depression

Depression is a powerful disease. My friends told my parents when I was around 20 that I was depressed. I just dismissed it believing it was my personality. Billy corgan once wrote "I'm in love with, my sadness" and I can relate. Sadness can be a companion, the key to life is to balance between sadness and happiness, too much of either can bring imbalance and upset harmony.
