Pill of Tears
“If I could catch my tears…Put them in a pill for you to take…Maybe then you would understand.” I pulled out an old sketchbook / notebook from the early 2000s. There are only a few pages used. The last page with something on it has this sketch. Back when I was struggling with depression, anxiety,…
