Depression is a tricky thing.

 

You never really know when it will happen. It just creeps up on you. At least, that’s what it did to me this week.

 

I miss my wife, but that wasn’t the catalyst this time. Or maybe it was. I’m not sure.

 

All I know is that I was down. For whatever reason. Unmotivated to do anything.

 

Existing monotonously to anyone and everyone around me, even myself.

 

I’ve made attempts to tame the beast, but the beast is me…and me is a person that I’ve never truly been able to control, at least not fully.

 

I sit in silence most days, hoping my thoughts will break the silence with something profound and inspiring. This week: nothing.

 

Sometimes, however, nothing is necessary.

 

It puts in perspective the somethings that exist in your life. That’s not even a profound thought. It’s just an observation.

 

Perhaps next week will be better.

 

We will see.

 

Stay tuned.
