When you feel down

Author's Note

Recently, I began to feel frustrated with my fantasy writing, and my writing overall. I had good ideas, but I couldn't express them from writing. I'm rarely good at it, but it didn't come naturally. I started feeling kinda stressed, because I loved my stories, it was just so hard to write them and I wasn't enjoying it.

Then, a couple days ago, I just felt really down and depressed. But I got the amazing news that my brother's wife was going to have a baby, and I would be an aunt! This got me thinking. The baby, not even born yet, had not experienced any of these feelings, grief or joy, anger or peace, they had not felt any embarrassment that followed them through their lives. They hadn't felt the pride and excitement that would sweep them away, they hadn't tasted, felt, seen, smelled, or heard. All this would come. They were going to live, just as I was doing now. This really inspired me, and I started to write. What came out was different from anything I'd written before. Not just in the words or message, but in the fact I did it easily, and enjoyed it.

It was very deep and meaningful, and it inspired me. I started writing more, and I realized this is the kind of writing I needed to do, not short stories or books. I needed to get more philosophical, more uplifting. So, here it is. A few times a week, I'll update with another piece of writing to inspire others, for anyone who is experiencing depression or just feeling down. I can't make it go away, but I can help.

Please note that this is not going to be cheesy or hard to understand. Just my musings, about little things that made me feel happy, and why.

Also, each chapter will have a positive thought at the beginning, credit to  calmdownalittle

I hope you enjoy.
