Update - Indefinite Hiatus

Hey all,

I've decided to take an indefinite hiatus from writing. There are many reasons, but perhaps the most important:

I've found that the moment I get into a didactic mindset, I become incredibly boring.

As for our venture, my team will be spending the next few months really getting to know college students who are struggling with depression, primarily in the Boston and NYC areas. We hope to gain the type of understanding that will allow us to shape our venture into something much more specifically and intimately connected to the needs of those who are struggling with depression. This will take a significant amount of time, but when it comes to designing a potential solution, we absolutely are thinking long-term. Who knows what will come, but we know we're going to learn a hell of a lot.

I don't know when I'll next be back to write again, but for now, I'll leave you with this:

Do the things that will make you proud.

Struggle as hard as you can for whatever you believe in.

Corny and generic as they are, these are pretty much the only two rules I live by. I've found that in the face of uncertainty, when no one else is willing - or even able - to give me guidance, these two rules get me by. I've made a lot of mistakes, but I don't regret them because I know I live by these two rules and always will.

Best of luck.
