Walkin' down the sidewalk with an empty feeling inside, sick and sorry like something's dead in there.
Hey Steph. You pretty much said it. That's how I was for most of my teen and adult life. I used to get really depressed.
Zen is like those moments that we have in our life where we just feel ok. Everything fine. We just enjoy things as they are. There's a natural joy in it. Like sitting on the grass on a summer's day and having a drink enjoying the breeze.
I found a lot of my depressed feeling came from really thinking too much. Being caught up in "why" instead of being caught up in the moment. Not being able to feel the shirt on my back (so to speak). So hang in there kiddo. I'm behind you all the way. Your not alone. Pay attention.
Your going to have bad days and good days and the days will get better when you stop worrying about the bad days so much. :)
