There have been times when no one was around me to help regulate me in the exposure of the things that I am consuming on social media, and I would cross that line of being emotional attached through various relating incidents happening around the world. The emotions are not always good and it will lead me to dwell in wallow because of how saturated the media is.
Lately there have been quite a bit of disappointments that comes to prove that no matter where I am, hardship will always find its way to me when I desire to not be waned by the world. But the hardest struggle is often to see the line drawn to how we perceive our situations around us.
2 days ago I met up with a man that was suffering from clinical depression and even the first time seeing him, I felt this dark cloud lingering in his presence. The man has but a distant of a dream to get out but unable to find reality to that dream. His struggles are very real in many sense, yet his depression clouds his ability to see the brighter side of things and day by day it weighs down on him in ways that led him into suicidal tendencies.
I am not in this man's position, nor have I been into that depth. But I do understand a vague sense of what it is like. So as I reflected on myself the very reaction that I get when I am constantly filled with sad, anger-triggering, depressing news on a regular basis, it is harder to wiggle out from it as it requires a stepping out from my den of solitude and embrace what seemingly difficult optimism that awaits for my longing ears.
Will you connect with me, not just in sharing your hardship, but also in the beauty that you perceive and capture? Do not let me go down this luring sadness where I am facing somewhat alone...
