So many great concepts here Jodi! This one took me a while to engage with - there was understandable challenge in engaging with this topic. But I’m so glad I worked through that and opened myself up to this piece. There’s so many potent philosophical considerations you bring into the conversation that so often get left out of discourse on mental health and depression.
In particular, this concept truly resonated with me:
“Making our life meaningful is different than abstracting the meaning of life itself.” I really appreciated how you brought meaning making into the conversation because that has been so effective for me in my journey with mental health and I want more people to be aware of that invaluable resource for relief - and peace - from crushingly relentless mental health ailments.
Additionally, your photos are just stunning. The waterfall and night sky photos took my breath away 🤭💙💙💙
Thanks so much for reading and sharing, Katie <3. I'll relay the photo message to Marcos! I'm glad that piece resonated with you. I think it's something I'm still trying to convince myself of haha... gets a bit easier the more and more I work on not intellectualizing my existence, and not making what is wrong.
Haha yes exactly, letting go of intellectualizing our existences and feeling compelled to make up stories about certain events in our lives or feelings we feel. No easy feat but gets easier with time and practice as you say.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful words, writing, and photos with us all here. Thank you too for passing on my appreciation to Marcos 😊🙏🏻
