Every now and then as we take stock of our existence, it tends to open Pandora's box of our lives. In those quiet moments of solitude, it can be easy to be overwhelmed with melancholia as we dwell on all the perceived inadequacies, missed opportunities and losses in our lives. In a twisted way, we sometimes relish that 'comforting feeling' of reliving the past and dwelling in it in the hope things could be different. In doing so it becomes all too easy to forget who we were and all we have.
In truth nothing is inherently bad or good but it's rather how we perceive or tag thoughts and feelings to events that make it seem so. Therefore we create the shackles that bind us as well as possess the key to our freedom. The better we understand ourselves the easier it becomes to emancipate ourselves of melancholia. This emancipation off melancholia may come easy to some and difficult for others. For those who struggle, the cycle of constant rumination without apparent answers becomes debilitating.
Therefore as important as it is to take time to get in our heads and understand ourselves better, it is imperative to also get out to gain better perspective and more importantly, to not lose ourselves in the labyrinth of our minds. Getting out does indeed clear your head, honest truth.
So here's a tribute to getting out in NZ, come over and walk out that melancholia ;D
Better with friends !
but do take time out to be with yourself
For true and lasting contentment comes from within - Dalai Lama
