Philosophical Friday
This week I am posing a question:
“Even when you ascribe meaning to something, does life ever get you down so much, that you’re questioning it (and everything else)? How do you handle that?”
Please reply seriously or in good fun.

The only meaning I can ascribe to my life is one that challenges me and makes me happy.

I like to self-reflect.
I am into personal development (and, I am working to become more consistent).
I have a BA in Psychology.
I enjoy reading.
I love to listen to music!
I write Prose poetry.
My favorite foods are Vietnamese and Thai.
"You will never be criticized by someone who is doing more than you. You will only be criticized by someone who is doing less than you."
I think having meaningful roles and activities can improve the experience of living, but it’s not necessarily a motivator to want to carry on living.

Yes, I agree. Life can be so incredibly difficult at times.

I search meaning in a lot of things, it needs to make ‘sense’ in my head. But life (or my brain) can take all of that away in one fell swoop (it feels like that for me at least). I manage with opening up to a mental health provider, blog, medication, rest, try not to worry about it, have a good cry, crash and hope that someone will pick me up or brake my fall. I just hope into a void.

It does seem like a void for me too, sometimes.

Oh, too many times, I’ve questioned it Mio. When life’s got me down and I felt so low I couldn’t get up, my mum fixes it all for me. She just listens and that’s often enough 🙂

That’s helpful to know of people coping in this fashion!
