"No, bereavement (depression) is different from sickness. What should I be cured of? To find what condition, what life? If someone is to be born, that person will not be blank, but a moral being, a subject of value—not of integration." — Roland Barthes, French literary theorist, philosopher, critic, and semiotician. His essays on mourning — his mother having died when he was in his 60’s — have been enlightening and have helped push me further along in understanding my own mother’s death. (last year)

I’ve known how to be alone for most of my life. It’s not always easy, but it is unlike anything else out there, and a necessity for introspection and self-exploration. It wasn’t until E explained to me that the majority of people were too interested with themselves to care to even notice or think about “that person standing over them by themselves alone, not even checking their phone as if to signal to others ‘oh hey, people like me. I’m just here waiting.’”, that I finally “got it.”
