After trying for years to make my career in the health care industry work while also struggling to manage my treatment resistant depression, I finally decided to follow my dreams of being a writer and traveling. Where does the name Drag N Weight come from? It comes from a scene in the TV series How To Die Alone starring Natasha Rothwell as Mel, a broke, single airport employee who assists other people traveling to exciting destinations every day. A character called Bird Man states that there are 4 things you need to fly: lift, thrust, drag and weight. Lift and thrust propel you up but drag and weight are needed for balance. Sometimes the things that hold you back and slow you down are the things you need to take off.
