I started a new job and am back in college now. I have a nasty feeling that Im getting more and more depressed. Suddenly Thoughts of David (My friend who commite suicide) are coming back. I look back and I only remember him smiling or dancing. The night he died he took everyone's pictures (he died the 3rd night of the school theatre show, but we finished the run in the end). I didn't think to take it as a warning sign. Now all I have is memories of him. It's like trying to catch something swaying in the wind but all I come up with is air.

Rain. I love rain. I live on the west coast in Canada. Every now and then my father packs up some stuff and we head north up the island for 5 or 6 hours. We drive past the mist veiled hills of sproat lake. We stop at the massive englishman river falls. We drive past the golden giant Maples. We end up at Ucculete and Tofino and go to the light house and watch the waves. The wind is always pounding the coast. The fog horn sounds. A spray of mist brushes through my hair. Everything's poetic.
I return to Tofino and the wilder parts of the Island when I need a break from lifes little stresses. I pull the memories over my eyes like a veil and bath in pour, raw glory of the wilderness.
