I feel like this is a never ending searching for me. I have tried to flip the script a bit within my own life by acknowledging the great things I have going for me: health (as far as I know), a healthy daughter, a good relationship, parents who can still get around.

I battle depression, but I think I’ve done a decent job of keeping that in check lately. I think lately, I’ve fallen short in my ability to get excited about much of anything. I’m like an NCP in a video game or an extra in a movie.

I don’t get too low, but I don’t get too high. I’ve been getting back to church, spending plenty of time outside. I can still get buried in a hobby. At the end of the day, I just tend to return to a level state. It’s similar to anhedonia I suppose, but I don’t feel miserable or upset.

Unfortunately, I don’t think I’m capable of doing something like climbing a mountain or jumping out of a plane to get my senses going. What inspires you guys?

There is no purpose but to be kind, generous, and loving. Help create a good community.

There prob is no Heaven.
There prob is no Hell.
All you have is the reality in which you dwell.

Once you realize the above, your load becomes a little lighter.

And keep God's covenant.

My new purpose is to use “anhedonia” in a sentence.

I learned it within the last year. It’s a major part of depression, but I think it can sum up tons of people that wouldn’t consider themselves truly depressed.

Ever spend a ton of time looking for something only to realize it’s right in your pocket?

To have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. To honor Him and point others to Him.

Not all of us are inspired humans, and none of us I think can force it.
The best I can suggest is to latch onto that of others. An hour with Billy Holiday might help.
