Before I Go On…

“Before I go on with this short history, let me make a general observation– the test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function.
One should, for example, be able to see that things are hopeless and yet be determined to make them otherwise. This philosophy fitted on to my early adult life, when I saw the improbable, the implausible, often the “impossible,” come true.” ―F. Scott Fitzgerald

Just a quiet day, dealing with some flu-like symptoms. Hoping it’ll pass and I will regain some energy, otherwise I know where I’m headed. 😦

Memorializing Year Nineteen

2020-09-112020-09-14 Miss Poison September 11th New York City, September 11th, Shanksville, Terrorism, Washington D.C.

I don’t have anything particularly wise or witty to share on the 19th anniversary of 9/11.

As a New Yorker, I remember every minute of the day and those which preceded. I will NEVER forget the smell of smoke, engine fuel, metal, and human lives in the air. I’ll never forget the people who reached out to me to make sure that my family and I were safe. I will always remember that if I’d taken a job in the towers, I might not be here today.

My memory is long, but life is shorter. Keep your loved ones close.

It Is Safe To Assume…

Quote 2020-09-102020-09-13 Miss Poison Depression, Quotes Andrew Slaby, Depression, Mental Health, Quotes, Suicidal Ideation, Suicide, Suicide Prevention, World Suicide Prevention Day

“It is safe to assume that, no matter how it appears, the attempt probably did not come out of the blue. Look for clues. Some possibilities include a family history of mental illness, a history of abuse, unusual or stressful family dynamics, prior diagnosis or evidence of a psychiatric disorder, and/or bizarre behavior long before, or in the days or weeks immediately preceding the crisis. Part of your job is to be a detective, assembling the pieces in the puzzle that is depression.” ―Andrew Slaby
