I used to be very hopeful when I was younger, my head full of dreams. But life did not choose to conform to the shape of any of my dreams, plans, or ideas of what I wanted. And now I've grown a bit cynical & bitter about life, with depression & anxiety overshadowing everything.

And yet I still keep trying to make plans for the future, even if my dreams are much smaller now. I even taking things to help with that lifelong depression & anxiety to help me feel a little hopeful, on occasion. I just wish, on occasion, some dreams would come true…

@Astartiel this is when you need a friend to talk to, not to advise and "fix" you, but talk. And to find that your friend needs you as well.
