Depression is like the underlying current of my life. Anti-depressants go a big way to help me stay afloat in it.

Otherwise, I try to focus on the day-to-day. I have a job where I teach children, and even the kids I don't directly work with see me as a role model. As such, I do my best to impart pro-social behaviors and lead with understanding and kindness. I want them to have the tools they need to overcome a world that wants to turn them bitter and lonely.

It's not a big thing, but I know change starts small. If I can help these kids become decent adults, I know I'm accomplishing something to improve the world.
