I have a go-to song for when I’m feeling particularly annoyed or pissed off – Long Day, by Matchbox 20.
It seems awfully fitting. There was one doctor appointment I was walking away from, when I was feeling frustrated and angry, and that song came on my iPod. I don’t associate that song with depression, but with physical problems with the body, and I think the song works quite well for both.
I have one hope for 2012: that my body be normal and boring, and everything ticks along the way it’s supposed to without me even noticing. But just in case, here is a reminder to myself: you are still alive, and that is something to be very happy about.
