Journal solitaire (one blue hideaway)

I really love my French edition of The Road, plus it was a gift from my best friend (at least I remember being with her at the bookstore and we were tripping over the shiny cover lol). The first and only time I read it, I think it was during my first year living in this house, so maybe about 11 years ago? I probably wrote it inside the book. And I remember posting a picture* of it, but it wasn't on here. Every now and then, I think about reading it again. But I want to read it in English too—was there ever a nice, cheap edition like that? I was listening to someone talk about Blood Meridian, she was praising Cormac McCarthy's writing. I've just had a feeling I would like it. I know I always say this, but I want to read books again.

Seasonal depression in summer not because summer depresses me, but because the thought of it ending makes me want to die.

It's a thought I had watching s01e06 of The L word, where Kit takes it upon herself to go and stand up for Bette to their father. That's how I got there. "Oh, I see. I've been a fuck-up to everyone dear to me, like my sister or my best friend. Never showing up. The complete opposite of reliant. But even when you've been this way, and they no longer expect things from you, as long as they're still here, you can always try and reach out, huh. Do something good."
