Cool, thanks for your understanding. I hate killing a conversation dead by not responding. The Girl character in the story came out of people I have known, and even myself to a degree, who appear to wear their depression, or dark mood like a badge of honour. I am referring only to specific people, not depression in general. I have noticed some people unwilling to let go of what has already let go of them. So I guess I was asking why? What's in it for them? Do they not want to be happy? Or is their old ways making them happy, and they can't let go?
