Depression (maybe not quite a state of depression) takes a lot out of someone, I have most recently discovered. I have also discovered that I can turn off all emotion when needed, but unintentionally. And one other thing, the people we love and care about the most we tend to try to protect from danger and protect their innocence (but in other cases, we don’t for one reason or another). All of these things I have discovered in the last 24hrs. There are effects to staying up late, I suppose. No more to say I guess…. There are other things to think about that are so much more pleasing and optimistic. Such as the possibility of hearing from Emily?!?! Tis a happy thought indeed!

WE miss you Emily Y..!!!!! I hope u will be at camp...
