I had been depressed for so long that it had become a permanent state of mind. Expectations might lift the edge of the cloud every time one took a new job, but life never turned out to be as good as the hopes.
Don't let every word just come out of your mouth. Cool off.
I thought about it for a while, then saved that tweet in my drafts. I opened up Evernote on the browser of my laptop. I used this to spill out the more incendiary thoughts I had, giving them time to cool off.

Boniface issued Unam sanctam , the most extreme assertion of papal power in all of church history. This time Boniface made his meaning unmistakable. “It is altogether necessary,” he declared, “for every human being to be subject to the Roman pontiff.” The king’s countermove was no less drastic. He prepared to have Boniface deposed on the ground that his election had been illegal.

"Aya giden, atomu parçalayan, genleri yeniden birleştiren insanlık, kendi insanlığını henüz öğrenemedi. Tüm teknik gelişmelere rağmen insanlık yönünden henüz karanlık çağları yaşıyoruz," diyor.
My greatest wish for humanity is not for peace or comfort or joy. It is that we all still die a little inside every time we witness the death of another. For only the pain of empathy will keep us human. There's no version of God that can help us if we ever lose that.
Rita Skeeter’s ArticleHarry Potter
In the meantime, life became even worse for Harry within the confines of the castle, for Rita Skeeter had published her piece about the Triwizard Tournament, and it had turned out to be not so much a report on the tournament as a highly colored life story of Harry. Much of the front page had been given over to a picture of Harry; the article (continuing on pages two, six, and seven) had been all about Harry, the names of the Beauxbatons and Durmstrang champions (misspelled) had been squashed into the last line of the article, and Cedric hadn’t been mentioned at all.
The article had appeared ten days ago, and Harry still got a sick, burning feeling of shame in his stomach every time he thought about it. Rita Skeeter had reported him saying an awful lot of things that he couldn’t remember ever saying in his life, let alone in that broom cupboard.
I suppose I get my strength from my parents. I know they’d be very proud of me if they could see me now. . . . Yes, sometimes at night I still cry about them, I’m not ashamed to admit it. . . . I know nothing will hurt me during the tournament, because they’re watching over me. . . .
But Rita Skeeter had gone even further than transforming his “er’s” into long, sickly sentences: She had interviewed other people about him too.
Harry has at last found love at Hogwarts. His close friend, Colin Creevey, says that Harry is rarely seen out of the company of one Hermione Granger, a stunningly pretty Muggle-born girl who, like Harry, is one of the top students in the school.
