10-Minute Warning XLIII

OK. What can I share here in under 10 minutes? Not much.

I quote my friend again, “In the darkest of times, try to focus on the glimpses of hope.” And right now, the Foo Fighters and the Bullet Club 10th anniversary jacket (something I bought recently and is now on the way to my house) are some of my glimpses of hope. If it weren’t for them and other things that cheer me up and people that lift me up, I would be dwelling in the darkness too much again.

That’s it. That’s all I can share now. Now let me rest.

10-Minute Warning XXVII

Let me cut to the chase. As I’m typing this now on mobile, I feel really sad. I don’t want to do anything rash or hurt myself. I’m simply sad.

I did everything to feel less sad today. I woke up early this morning. I ate breakfast and lunch on time. I helped in cleaning and taking out the trash. I updated my journal earlier than usual. I listened to the Foo Fighters’ new album But Here We Are for the nth time. And then I had my nightly walking/jogging at Three Trees. And after all that, the sadness is still there. It was lessened, but it is still there.

Perhaps I need to try harder to lessen the sorrow… or maybe stay in the darkness for a while until I’m ready to bounce back? We’ll see. I just hope I will become well tomorrow or any time this week. I truly hope.
