Do you ever get that feeling like you& #39;re standing on a cliff, looking down and knowing you& #39;re only half a step from falling, but you still find yourself completely unable to move back?

The amount of junk food I& #39;ve consumed this week is embarrassing, and it& #39;s only Wednesday. (It& #39;s ONLY WEDNESDAY.) I& #39;m going through crazy mood swings, extreme highs where I& #39;m so excited all I want to do is talk to all of my friends all at once about anything at all.

But there& #39;s also debilitating lows where I can barely even stand to be in the same room as my family let alone talk to my pocket friends. I can& #39;t force myself to do anything around the house, and the only thing I REALLY want to do is eat more junk food and watch Friends.

I guess I& #39;m not doing super well? I like to pretend that isn& #39;t true so I don& #39;t have to think about it. In fact, if you ask me how I& #39;m doing, I& #39;ll probably lie and say I& #39;m fine when I& #39;m not really sure that I am.

But the thing is... everybody is not fine right now, right?

This is the new normal. And really, I& #39;ve got it pretty good. I& #39;m not lacking anything, I still have a job, still get out of the house, still have my family, still feel safe on a daily basis.

But I& #39;m still just... not right.

I don& #39;t think it& #39;s anything to worry about, so please don& #39;t worry about me. I just had all of this swirling inside of me when I& #39;m trying to write a gay love story and it wasn& #39;t really working, so I had to let it out.

Thanks for listening <3 Hang in there, everybody.
