[Sephiroth]

I'm the opposite to Leisha there...my world is one very much like this one. But what you say about bright deeds in a dark world really resonates. I do see the world as a dark place, and the positive moments, they all happen between people. The overall tenor is not optimistic, however.

And when is a book optimistic?

If it is terribly dark, but offers hope in the end, is that preferable to something less dark which ends negatively?


I also suffer from depression, although I'm doing better now that I was.


You've given me a lot to think about here, Teresa.

I would like to think that I retain some of my 'childish', positive aesthetic.
