Blue Funk

Blue Funk, dullness, bleakness or Depression, what is it..?? Depression means different to each one... To some the feeling you get when your dream is shattered is "depression", to some the same shattered dream is a stepping stone to a new one. To some the feeling of a break up of a long last love is "depression", to some the same break up is a reason to be stronger than before. To some the feeling of a broken family is "depression", to some the same is a start to new responsibilities. There are many such examples that I can cite here, but at the end of the day I feel its worthless to get depressed. Depression brings in many things along with it, it brings in fear, it brings in uncertanity, weakness and the extremity being at times suicides! Our mind and our heart play a very cruical role at the time of depression. Most of the times they work together. But at the peak of any emotion, they prefer to stay apart and be opponents.
Many a times I get depressed as well. There are times my depression has lasted for months together. At the time of depression, eveyrthing will seem negative. Mind will not want to think in any direction except the direction which the mind has convinced the heart and the heart just follows. I would fail to see the brighter side of life and what not. I do agree, that time of depression is really bad and not everyone can undertsand or express the feel. But when I would get over it after all the thinking and advises from the near dear, I would realise, I wasted a lot , LOT of precious time which I can never get back. Over a period of time, one realises that being depressed is no solution. Its just a way the mind thinks and manipulates the wonderful heart to be dull. Depression can kill the moment. It can make you lose what you already have or an opportunity can be overlooked.
I have relaised that each day needs to be taken the way it comes. Definitely, think about the future, dream big, laugh always, but when the future doesnt turn out the way you thought, dreams are not fulfilled, don't be depressed, don't blame The God, don't say "Why me", just smile, and think for a moment with all your heart. A positive energy will flow, just hold on to it and you will feel that whatever happens, happens for good, maybe theres another bigger dream that is gonna be fulfilled, maybe the best is yet to come, maybe , maybe...
Life is beautiful if you choose to see it and always, picture abhi baaki hai..!!! Laugh, smile, beam, cackle,snicker...everythiing will seem easy and great!!! :)
