Still better

Things are still better.

Things are still better because even when Dave feels depressed and wakes up feeling overwhelmed, he says, "I'll just start working on something."  Things are better because the situation is very rarely, if ever, dangerous.  Things are better because he sometimes enjoys things.  Occasionally, though rarely, Dave almost looks forward to something.

Things are still better.  In obvious, apparent ways that things are better.





Sometimes they're still hard to see.
