It's a Black Hole

That's what it feels like. Just like water rushing down the drain, swirling ever faster into the darkness of the drain pipe, that's what my life feels like.

I'm driving myself crazy trying to figure out why I feel this way and how I can change it. I've discovered that it feels like I have no purpose anymore. So how does one continue to live a meaningful existence when it feels like there is no real reason to live.

It's the middle of the night, I can't sleep, I cry, I panic.....what is the matter with me? What happened to my hopes and dreams for this life?

If I died tomorrow would it matter? Would my absence impact anyone's life? From this side the answer seems to be no.

Peeling Back More Layers

Uncovered and Hiding
--------------------

Our souls are not broken that they should need repair, nor deficient that they should need anything added. Our souls need only to be uncovered and allowed to shine.
