what do you do when a friend sends you an email telling you that they had tried to kill themself? do you say i'm coming to see you right now and i'm not leaving until i know yr okay? do you send flowers? do you try to call them? and then what, especially if yr phone skills are lacking in the best of circumstances.
and i was on my way out the door, back to the studio to try to get a good start on my drawing homework. and i thought a bunch on the way there about these sorts of things. and when i came back four hours later, i still didn't know what to do.
but she called me. and we talked. and i'm a little less worried. but i've got that "worrying gene" and i care a lot. a lot a lot. but we talked. about depression but also about colours and stars and flowers and all those things that should be there all the time, but sometimes you forget.
and i wished her beautiful dreams. keep yr dream receptors open, i said, and i'll send some. i guess that's what you do. you send beautiful dreams. full of all those wonderful things that get obscured from time to time. and email for her to read when she wakes up in the morning.
