[ where it's at ]

long ago, i wrote with the intent of having others read my 
writing. lately, i have been encouraged to write for myself.
that is, to write as a means of exorcising my thoughts. 
"exorcising" may be too dramatic, though living with per-
sistent depressive disorder makes my thoughts, arguably, 
"evil" on occasion. having lived with suicidal thinking for
nearly 30 years, i still can't see depression as bad, per
se.
