Dear diary

It's me. I'm here at the deep dark place again.

The sadness. It's unexplainable. It comes and goes in waves. It lands on you when you least expect it.

I went to bed last night with doubt and mild worry. I woke up this morning, greeted my the pale slivery sunlight, half-heartedly trying to infiltrate my bedroom through the layer of cloud. And that familiar, unspeakable gloom.

I thought it was gone after a shower. Or that it would go away with my favourite foods. I thought I just needed the company of my friends. But after each moment was lived through and faded away, I am confronted with that aching gloom again.

Today is one of those days where my feelings are rawer and realer than they normally are. But today I don't have time to indulge in them. I plug in my earphones, I try to shut out the dread.
