wlotusMy thoughts of late have been far deeper than I can prolifically express. Even my paper journal is full of brief observations, instead of pages of text. I'm not troubled by it, but I am interested and curious why that is.
Today's Brief But Deep ThoughtTM had to do with happiness. I was feeling anxious about the future, which is normal for me these days. As I traveled home after taking care of an errand which is, by itself, quite anxiety-producing, I thought, "No one is happy 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Everyone has moments of anxiety or sadness in their daily lives. So my feeling this way right now does not have to mean I am broken. It's just a normal part of the human experience."
Over the years I had gotten so used to thinking of my self and my moods and my brain chemistry as broken that this was a major revelation.
