Solastalgia (comfort)(pain)

Thursday, January 3rd, 2008

Can the environment around you make you sad? Sure, you could be in prison or in a hospital or even surrounded by miserable people all day, but that's not the environment I'm talking about. Could the change in nature, or the lack-thereof, make you sad? According to ...

Things To Do When The Fog Breaks Your Fall

Thursday, December 13th, 2007

With school wrapping up for the term, I find myself a bit more interested in writing. Not to mention the fact that Cytizen has decided to write once more on his blog, which gives me something to read and imitate blasphemously. There has always been a strange issue ...
