15 years ago,

the internet was an escape from the real world.

Now,

the real world is an escape from the internet.

If you know someone who’s depressed, please resolve never to ask them why.

Depression isn’t a straightforward response to a bad situation; depression just is, like the weather.

Try to understand the blackness, lethargy, hopelessness, and loneliness they’re going through.

Be there for them when they come through the other side.

It’s hard to be a friend to someone who’s depressed, but it is one of the kindest, noblest, and best things you will ever do.

- Stephen Fry -

De meeste dingen mislukken pas

op het moment dat je ze probeert.

Diederik Smit

Soms zullen de mensen om je heen

je keuzes niet begrijpen.

Dat is niet erg,

want je maakt ze ook niet voor hen.

Once you have a disease like cancer, you look at life a bit differently. Some things that were important no longer seem as important as they were.

I don't go to see bands any more because I've got tinnitus, so I have to avoid loud music. You get used to it, but when it's quiet you hear a constant ringing.

At the end of the day, life's about realising one's human potential. I don't know if I've realised mine, but I've certainly gone a long way towards realising some goals and some dreams.

The more I read my poems, the more I find out about them. I still read them with the same passion I felt when I wrote them as a young man.
