I have a friend who has been depressed all her life. She's a poet too. Sometimes she lets me read to her when it doesn't hurt too much to hear me. Tonight I think I'll read her "Things to Say to Yourself on the Bad Days" and link her over to your page. Thank you for what you do, Meggie. I cannot thank you enough, or properly.

I truly hope that piece helped your friend even just a little bit. No one deserves to feel that bad for so many years. What they do deserve is a kind, considerate friend like you. She is so lucky to have someone to read to her and take care of her.

I admire you so much. Thank you for reading my work and sharing it with others in such a healing and selfless way.

Have an absolutely wonderful day. You deserve it.
