why part2

[biz17]

why is it that no matter how happy i am, depression is always just around the corner waiting to consume me?

why can't i just find one thing that makes me happy and whole and be able to do that thing for the rest of my life?

what are you talking about?

you're only 18-ish. this is what college is for... so, it's cool that you are actively searching for these things this early in your experience.

as for the former, i guess that could just be chalked up to the way things work. you can't have good without bad--nabokov's "the melancholy and the tenderness of mortal life." basic theology, basic literary concepts that are totally applicable to everyday life. just roll with it. the more you focus on what's going on now (in terms of emotion), the easier things will become... or that's my experience, at least.

you can't worry about what another day will bring. there's too much going on right now to spend that kind of time over something that is guesswork.

depression happens, but if you try to maintain a generally positive outlook, you'll be alright. i'm sure you know that--it may just be a little comforting to be reassured sometimes?

Bitch, be happy or I'll kill you, IMO.
