Hello Steamers.
I like many others have bouts of depression. Mine is not the worst case nor the easiest. Now I've been on a low after returning from a holiday. Which is nothing unusual. But today whilst walking to my daughters school, I realised I felt pretty energized and had a good feeling that seemed to buzz all over me. I love this feeling, it makes me want to quit all my bad habits, to be more social, to conquer all my goals. But I have been here many times before and know now not to get too excited about my new found vitality. I know that around the corner is the inevitable dip back to my darker side. So whilst I was noticing this new feeling I started to wonder how far this "high" would take me. How long would this one last? Would this good feeling stay long enough to allow me to start my business or would my confidence vanish like a magicians coin and cause the usual crash of personality.
But maybe, like surfing, you get lots of different types of waves. Some you surf and some you leave. Some waves give you inspiration to keep trying and other chuck you in a rip and spit you back out to see. But you just have to wait for that one wave...the one that takes you all the way back to the beach.
I hope it is, but if not I'll keep on surfing dude!!!! To all my fellow miserable gits, keep on keeping on.
