No longer coupled with the meaning of this world sobriety, isn't it just an oceanic bird not yet drown, but in a self-denial that it has been flying way too long? Indulgence is a self-inflicted rushing tidal- wave through the dense, thick fog, ere long. No, it can't ever be confused with love. When you've depression, there's no love- can keep you safe above the waves that choke- until you've suffered with it; depression is no joke.
