THE ALTER EGO

i know i never right on this thing, but i am at work, have no one to talk to, and need to vent.

i've never been in a relationship before. daniel is the first, and we've been going strong for almost 2 years.

dan was depressed last summer and fall and it seems like he's slipping back into it again. as selfish at is may seem i don't feel like i have the energy to help him through this one again. or maybe it is just that i don't want to. i'm not sure anymore.

it drives me nuts how be berates himself. he is smart and very capable of anything he set his mind to. he left the university last year to do automotive tech stuff. he really likes it and it is what he wants to do, but he does not think he measures up to his younger sister. she is starting at oregon state this fall and he is worried that his parents think more of her because she is going to an actual college and not some community college. i don't understand what exactly he sees wrong about what he is doing. isn't he supposed to be following his dream? i am completely dumbfounded and frustrated. and now i am done talking about this. i'm sure i'll post more later. poop.
