Comment:

I realize that a lot of my choices for this mix were singles, but they fit with the theme, so I'm rolling with it. The story behind this mix begins with my friend. I just kept reading her journal entries ... they were so hopeless ... and I just sat there and didn't know how to respond. This is my response to anorexia, depression, self-injury, and pain, almost to the point of death. This is what I hope it never comes to. I don't want to open up my newspaper in my twenties, only to see her name and picture in the Obits ....

This was originally going to be a mix with peppy songs about depressing subjects, like Vienna Teng's "Shasta (Carrie's Song)" [abortion] and Ted Leo's "Me and Mia" [eating disorders] but the tone changed. Maybe another day that one will come around!
