For today’s journal entry I am supposed to post a picture of me from a couple of years ago. I am having a problem doing that. Two years ago I was still in my major depressive episode, and I do not think I let anyone take pictures of me. If anyone did manage to get a picture of me, I am sure it would have shown how sad I was feeling. I have decided to show an older – but happier – picture of me.

This was taken when I was about 23. I was visiting my parents – who were living in China. We had taken a trip into Hong Kong and had eaten at a fairly famous restaurant called Jumbo. The restaurant was huge, and on a boat in the Hong Kong harbor.
