I've always been good at putting things behind me - I fall apart, do my crying bit and then put it away and move it. ↗

Wilderness designations should not be the result of a quid pro quo. They should rise or fall on their own merits. ↗

I'd fallen in love with a woman but she broke up with me and I was devastated. Six months later, I went into a suicidal depression from the break-up of the relationship, but I resolved to not do what my friends had done. And so I reached out for help. ↗
