What if my friend feels depressed? | Artful Balance

Imagine having a friend who, after being severely depressed for years, began to feel better. Now she has a pep in her step, a bright horizon in her outlook, and conversations with her became lighter, more casual and meandering.

What if she had a bad day? She felt down, she questioned everything, including the value of her own existence. What would I want for my friend?

I would want her to simply enjoy today and the simplicity it entails – watch a movie, get into a book, or revisit an old hobby.

Not every moment calls for urgency or activity. We are allowed to just exist.

These are my personal writings curated from material produced during my structured daily writing times as well as spontaneous thoughts I manage to record. Through organizing and uploading them i hope to learn about who I am as a voice and writer and find ways to improve my writing skills. Though I feel drawn to more cerebral topics, I would like my writing to be an engaging emotional journey none the less.

Someday I hope I figure out a way to assemble my short works into something more coherent and with a more obvious purpose. But right now, these tidbits are the best I can do.
