Today's Quote--"Hope springs eternal in the human brest;/Man never is, but always to be blest."--Alexander Pope
And then I realized that I can take action. I don't actually have to take action, but just the realization that I can made me feel much better. Or my seritonin levels just evened out. Either way, I'm feeling much better. Only two weeks until I go home. *sigh*
I see my friends, floating in similar bubbles, and I know that I am not alone. We are all alone, but we share a pain there, a notion of missing something, of wanting something. We're just wandering around, our bubbles filled with fear, pain, loneliness. But one day, one bubble encounter another, and though it didn't end the loneliness, there grew a great gem...hope. And amazingly, without saying one word, or by spewing out all the pain of life in one day, the gem multiplied, and then, the bubbles didn't seem so lonely. What a lovely gift I've received, though the giver may not even know they gave it away.
And then there was a click, I felt better, and life seemed manageable. Wow. I may hate those depressive states, but that click was just about the most positive feeling I've had in a long time. Click, and the sun came out from behind a cloud. Click, and the rock grew wings.
