DARK WITH NO LIGHT - I want to take a moment today to thank my brain. To express my sincere gratitude for never having taken me to that deep, dark place that so many visit on a regular basis. That dark with no light. Depression. Thank you brain. Because I cant begin to imagine what that is like. To carry the weight of that extreme heaviness that prevents some people from even wanting to get out of bed in the morning. To face that daunting task of just getting through the day. And the fear of knowing that the full weight of it all could fall on them at any moment. And bury them. Ive seen it happen. Sometimes totally unexpected. Ive seen friends and people I know fall victim to it. When theyve come to that point where there is no choice left but to make it stop somehow. For those who have never experienced it, or known someone who has, its hard to understand. And Its not just sadness, we all get sad at times. It must be such a deep heaviness and such a dismal place that the hope of ever coming back from it is gone. Its an insidious disease. Maybe one day well find an answer that can relieve their pain. But until then, we can only hope. So thank you brain. I cant express how fortunate I feel for you not having taken me to your deeper recesses. I will continue to do all I can to avoid that, and to help in some way, and sympathize with, those who cant. Thank you brain. And because of my gratitude, I can almost forget those times when you have decided to surprise me and play that Pharrell Williams song Happy when I didnt request it. Almost. Sincerely, Me
