I don’t let it get too bad no more to really need a bounce back so I stay mostly in the middle like a plane running out of fuel sputtering along but never falling completely out of the sky but not soaring too high neither but it’s that big crash all the way down that bounces you back up and sometimes you bounce up even higher than the point you feel from because you’ve got momentum somehow even despite the fact that you’re fighting gravity it’s like the world gets turned upside down once you get depressed enough and it happens right when you crash hard into the ground and you think you oughta just have fallen into your grave and be done with it but nobody was there to dig your grave and so you just hit the hard earth and that’s right when the world turns and all of a sudden you see that you can’t go any lower and it’s only up from there and besides you’ve got reverse- gravity at your back now and you’re soaring up up up but I don’t let it get that bad no more like I said don’t drink too much to get sick don’t stay up to late to be tired in the morning don’t push myself until I break don’t go off on crazy foreign backpacking trips meeting new people and living on ten dollars a day it’s all bed before ten stretches in the morning and then tea at the desk trying to work and keep calm and concentrated maybe I’ve done my falling crashing and bouncing all the way back up and now it’s time for what I’m doing now just as it’ll always be time for what I’m doing now because, well, it’s what I’m doing and time is passing and that’s just what it is.
