Recently I spent a week in a psych unit due to my depression. After returning to the "real world" I was stunned by how many people I had in my life who cared so much. So let me introduce you to some of the best people in the world.

Hi, I'm Lauren. I work at a bookstore with this demon/cat, Clem.

Gretchen, me, Sara. My best friends, and chosen family :)

My newest best friend Mak. Mak goes on imgur so I really hope she will see this. Mak you are such a beautiful person in and out.

My two sisters, (14&17) who are just the most beautiful, wonderful, smart, brats you'd ever meet.

My little brother (16)..I literally cannot put this kid into words. He is so kind and intelligent. My siblings are my life haha.

This is my whole family. They are the most wonderful, supportive people anyone could wish for.

And of course, all of you. For making me laugh, and have feels, and being all around wonderful.
