Elena

I credit my Jewish, Shinto, and Buddhist upbringing for my present atheism.
I fell in love with my best friend who left me for someone else.
I was in denial about having clinical depression even after attempting to hang myself two years ago.

I feel like the biggest fake when my peers enthusiastically voice how they channel their despondency and frustration through writing and producing art.

I recently rolled on molly and went to a show with my closest friends from high school. I haven't felt so safe, so happy with myself, in a very long time.
