beauty!”
John was soon 6his friend’s
horse, and he was examining it 7to see how it was
made. The same evening he tried to make
a 8one for himself. He went into the
wood shed and 9two pieces of

Back
about
20
months
ago
I
started
college
and
just
struggled
with
everything, such as classes and
friends. I quickly became depressed and angry
at
myself
for
not
being
about
to
do
better
in
school,
in
addition
to
lack
of
friends due to poor
social and communication skills.
This went on for months until my 19th
birthday. My parents sent me a
cake,
which
was
a
great
cake.
But
I
remember
having
this
large
cake
and
absolutely no one to
share it with. I ended throwing out the cake after
having
one piece, with about 90 % of it
leftover . That night I was
depressed
that I
decided to go outside to the
freezing temperature of the winter and run. I put
my
earphones
in,
went
outside
and
ran
about
2
miles
at
11
p.m.
on
my
birthday.
When I got back inside I
was content. I was proud of what I was able to do.
The
next night did the same.
I wasn’t quick or fit but you know that I went
outside and did something. The
continued for about 2 months until I finally
worked up the courage to go to the gym,
where I started swimming again as I
used
to
in
high
school.
A
month
went
by
and
I
started
lifting
weights
and
continually running.
Looking
back
I
can
see
that
exercise
helped
cure
my
depression
but
it
didn’t only do that. At the gym I met
new friends and back at my dorm I grew
confidence
to
go
to the
end
of the
hall
seeing people playing
Super Smash
Brothers and ask
if I could join.
So go
forward to present now. I exercise every day and
look forward to
that hour and a half I
get daily to do what I love with people who love
it as well.
I hope this helps someone
who may be or have been in a similar situation.

Why
do
you
go
to
the
library?
For
books,
yes
—
but
you
like
books
because they tell stories You hope to
get lost in a story or be transported into
someone else’s life. At one type of
library you can do just that—
even
though
there’s not a single
book.
At a Human
Library, instead of books, you can “borrow”
people. People
with unique life stories
vol
unteer to be the “books.” For a
certain amount of
time,
you
can
ask
them
questions
and
listen
to
their
stories,
which
are
as
fascinating as any you can find in a
book.
Many of the stories
have to do with
some
kind
of
depressing
topic.
You
can
speak
with
a
refugee,
a
soldier
suffering
from
PTSD
,
a
homeless
person
and
a
woman
living
with
HIV
.
The
Human Library encourages people to take
time to truly get to know and learn
from
someone
they
might
otherwise
make
a
snap
judgement
about.
According
to
its
website
,
the
Human
Library
is
“a
place
where
difficult
questions are
expected, appreciated and answered.”
The Human Library
Organization came to be in Copenhagen, Denmark in
2000.
Romni
Abergel
and
his
colleagues
hosted
a
four-day
event
during
a
major
Northern
European
festival.
After
the
success
of
this
event,
Abergel
founded the Human
Library Organization, hoping to raise awareness
among
youth about depression, which has
been growing ever since.
Though there a few permanent human
libraries, most aren’t place a
t all,
