this is my first single apartment. i don't really like living alone as much as i thought i would.

i am working on my first mixed media that had no strictures and was not a class assignment... it is, like many of my pieces are and will be, based on an alanis morissette song.

this week was my first time encountering anxiety attacks... i had two on friday and one on monday.

i am on depression medication for the first time in my life.

this is the first time where i have decided that depression cannot and will not mean physically hurting myself.

i am loving my first year at seminary. much good is to come from being here.

this is the first time where i have moved somewhere because i wanted to be somewhere.

i am finding myself bewildered at politics and unsure and confused and... for the first time in a long time, i do not want to vote.

this i am i am this or i am this i am.
