This is my first post. I am very bitter today. The world remains a hideous and frightening place, where it is impossible to distinguish the good from the bad, as it is all bad.

I have recently been taken by a cold. My throat hurts, and the my glands are swolen under the chin. I expect that this will get worse.

So my note for today, is.

The World is a dark and dreary place. We pass through life, like little more than wraiths, who feel only the coldness of endless hell and can see but not touch the illusions of beauty from others lives.
