part 2.

Recently, Catherine Zeta Jones decided she was Bipolar 2 and went to rehab.  That's a new one, Bipolar 2.  So is going to rehab for it. 

I like reading books, old books, because you learn what life was.  They were always going to spas and sanitoriums and places like that to "rest."

Life is hard.  We struggle; we struggle against ourselves and our own demons, against expectations from others, and against very real things.  It takes a toll. 

But no one's allowed to mourn anymore, to suffer, to struggle, to recover.  We're expected to show up on time to work every day, perform, carry on, smile.

So we're forced to find new ways to simply feel bad, and to be legitimate while doing so.

We're not allowed to just feel bad.
