Depression

People wonder about depression and how it works, most importantly does it apply to them or anyone they know. The fear alone makes it gallant to even consider that everyone, without exception suffers, and they may be one.

The sarcasm and irony are deafening! It is amazing, most people are afraid of what they cannot explain, let alone how they feel and how to express it, without hurting those who they love the most. It leaves to question what they feel, and what they are willing to admit to themselves and others, if at all.

The question is always the very thing we are thinking about every moment of the day, or at least most of the day. Is life o.k.? Are we o.k.? Am I o.k.? The power of emotion…every single “FUCKING EMOTION”. Oops, did I say the words with feeling?…Or without?

So how do you feel today, is it in the Mind?…Spirit?…Body?…or Soul? Or, is it any combination or all at one time together? Life is not nearly as complex or desolate as most people think. Life in itself is about evolution for the enhancement of all. It is about the moments of growth and how we grow.

A question comes to mind by which the words alone have no meaning. However, when given emotion and application take on the meaning of life, in particular, mine, yours, and everyone else’s life. The simple words when, where, how, why and by whose standards do we decide and about what?

It is almost like being trapped in a labyrinth? Constantly trying to figure out where you are. Where are you going? Is there more? How close to the truth are you? What are the lies? Where and what is the grey area?…Does it matter?…Do I matter? How do I get out of this lost vagueness?

Once again, are YOU O.K.?!!! When do you know if you are o.k.? Everything in front of you is real to you, but how does it apply to everything else in the scheme of things?

Do you feel like you are in the dark? Is there a certain clarity when you’re in the dark? What do you see? What do you imagine you see or feel? What were you hoping to find? Did you find yourself, touch your own soul, with its fears, demons, and emotions? Did you see anything at all?

Depression is like always looking in the mirror waiting to see the truth, meaning, purpose and yet only seeing emptiness or hazy vagueness. The only way out is like the cliche says, “the truth shall set you free”.

When one can be true to oneself then, and only then, can they be free to be true to all. It is there where they can love themselves, thus, be able to love others. It is there they become whole.
