Some days...

 Some days I don't have any interest in life. I look at my future with dread, because I know I have to do something with my life. I have no enthusiasm for the adventure lying before me. I imagine myself going through the motions of school with no feeling, and having a career I'm not excited about. 
 
 Some days I'm not satisfied with who I am, but change seems so unattainable. My desire to change will come and go so often, I won't ever make any progress. 

 Some days I don't want to do anything. I want to curl up and escape from the world. I distract my mind with meaningless things to avoid the depressing thoughts inside my head. 

 Productivity and human interaction improve those days. Turning my thoughts toward spiritual matters improve those days. Seeking "fun" and ease make those days worse.


"If you look for truth, you may find comfort in the end: if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth—only soft soap and wishful thinking to begin with and, in the end, despair."
