Sometimes in our lives, nothing is wrong but you get depressed....and when this happens to me in special, I get VERY depressed, in a very short amount of time. I hate when this happens, and it often does. At times like this, I tend to listen to music, watch videos, play games, walk or run in parks and all the escape tools my terapist taught me to, most of times it works wonders, but some days...it is just impossible.
You know, I've been through a lot...I really hope and pray to one day, have the guts to post all the things that have happened to me since my childhood, during my teenagerhood and now on my adult life, but I am too afraid of that, afraid of people's judgement and opinios, and about the repercussion it would get.
Until something happens, and a random comment, out of the blue, makes you stop, breath, think, ponder and reflect. A comment from a person that knows you no better than any other, a comment that says:
- "Teacher....you know, you look like a birthday candle about to extinguish....everyone is expecting it to, and then it explodes into fire....full force again"...
And then, the emotional rollercoaster I was riding slows down, loses force and starts to come back to balance. Commuting back home, for the first time in a while I decided to turn the radio on, sang my lungs out in some nice songs that were playing, never bothered about the traffic, just turned up the volume and screamed like a football supporter on superbowl.
Well, thanks for the compliment, I can see now how much it helped, it really brought me back to real life....
Planet earth calling.....can you hear it?
