Divided Soul (ramblings)

At what point in your life do you come to the realization that you need a change? That the path of your life is wrong, and there's more in store for you than what you're doing right now? A change surely is in order because all the signs are posted for death. Not a physical death, but a mental death which is far worse. Physical death is quick and your heart/mind isn't overwhelmed daily with life questions. Mental death is slow, erosion of the human psyche leaving battered and wearied. I wonder daily how many people are burdened with thoughts of being overwhelmed and backed into a corner where there is no light. I've been in that corner before when your soul is divided and it all seems pointless. You think that no one else could possibly be feeling this excruciating pain you're enduring, and if they were what possible reason would God (we always blame God) easier to blame him than blame yourself for your shortcomings. In those times the simplest things work to snap you out of that melancholy for me it was maybe reading a good book, seeing a movie, writing, taking a solitary walk in Central Park in the middle of winter-nothing beats that. And then, without even realizing it, the doldrums had passed and I was back on even ground-for now. So it goes. ( I like saying that) So it goes.
