Sorry Francis
We, your fans are here for you, as much as we can be, and as much as you’d allow for us to be
It’s been a long time, but I think I can sympathize with what you’re going through. It may not help to read me typing this, but it is my poor excuse to attempt to reach out and find a relatable experience.
It is easier to be depressed, when there are fewer pressing/immediate activities that need ones attention. Looking deep into the darkness of the quiet stillness of time. The entropy which exists, which by our sheer existence we are constantly fighting against.
Someone I heard once commented, that pain and struggle, is the fuel of creativity and innovation. That difficult times create hard/strong people, and easy times make soft/weak people. Like the fire and hammer and anvil which forges the strongest of weapons.
There are billions of people on this third rock from a star, we call our sun. Not all get along. Not all are compatible with each of those billions. But sheer statistics say it is possible. But how much difficulty is one willing to endure to find those smaller number of persons among those billions which can be compatible with emotionally, and physically.
Some of the best things are earned, not given; or so some may say. Is happiness, contentment, fulfillment something that can be earned? Or is it something given by something outside of our individual control?
Ah settling, there is a lot of discussion that can be had around that, especially as one gets older. But how much of settling is giving into entropy? How much of settling is being content with what one has? Definitely different potential philosophies connected to each of those questions.
