My Dark Passenger, Can I Detach? Part One
The dark passenger is an old friend. I have known this something for so long, and I know if I give it space, it may never leave me, and detach we can be separate. Less depressive episodes would be a significant step in a direction.
Detachment from Scenarios

If you become a regular contributor, I will change your status to the rank of author

I have a friend that is considering giving up her phone by 2021, and that even sounds like a good idea if I wasn’t launching my business.
