I heard a story on radio the other day:
It sounds like preaching and it's a nice way to hypnotize oneself from disappointment. However, It's not easy to think that way for many of us. Sometimes, depression acts like a spoiled kid who is celebrating Halloween, treat or trick, just won't let go unless he gets what he wants.A professor in art who suffers from cerebral palsy was invited to give a speech about her life. After the speech, a participant asked her a sharp question in public: How do you see yourself? She wrote down a few lines on the board:
1. I am cute
2. I can draw
3. I have a beautiful dog... etc.Above all, I see only what I do have and don't see what I don't have.
I wanna disappear, leaving everything behind and going somewhere nobody knows me. Somewhere nothing is relevant to me so I can see things with a cold eye until I reset the perception of what I do have and what I can't have and appreciate that. I wish I could.
