today i woke up feeling depressed. of course it is not the first time i just did not feel like getting up and playing the game of life - these things happen. i felt tired, defeated and just want to go back to bed. work, money, people, things just get on my nerves and i don’t even want to do it today.
i am sure that everyone gets bummed sometimes. surely i am not the only one. there are some things, though, that make me feel better. I know that emotions sometimes run in cycles. i may be sad today or bummed out, but that will change. pretty soon i will turn my melancholy mood into being motivated again and ready to beat the odds. the next step will be to come up with some plans and affirmations to get things going my way. i recently read an article where a fan of Brad Pitt publicly told him at a movie premier that he was considering committing suicide. Brad Pitt told him that life has its ups and downs and that it is cyclical. when you are up, you’re up and when you’re down, you’re down. i thought this was pretty cool because Brad Pitt basically threw a “all things will pass” out at a very good time. good for him.
I have come to realize that when you go against your true nature, you are unhappy. when you try to be a certain type of person because you think others will like you, you will be unhappy. when you try to pretend you like something or somebody, you will be unhappy. i found out that you need to be yourself, and in order to do that, you have to accept yourself. once i started to do that (despite what other people think) things started to get better. i would still like to be rich and not work. i also would like to live on a beach and sit by the sea all day long - but for now i will just be true to myself and things will be a little better.
being depressed is like having an ache sometimes. it takes a long time to go away, and you are always thinking of it. once your focus changes, you can look towards a more positive outlook
