Living in my head

It is a scary place to be. I can’t tell you what I will be doing six months from now. I live day to day and don’t look further into the future. I live in the present, rather than the past or the future. I sometimes ponder about the past and wonder what I would be doing if I had not gotten shot in the head, but this is not realistic. The fact that I did get shot in the head and this is my reality. Yet, it sucks for me, living with a disability (walk with a gimp, my left arm is paralyzed). So, this brings me right back to living in the present time. They say if you live in the past, you are depressed and if you live in the future, you are anxious. I am depressed so I drink coffee and eat apples so I can get myself out of that funk. Plus, I take walks to get some vitamin d from the sun. It works for the most part. Also, I eat dark chocolate, which also helps depression. So, even though I feel sad. I do have ways to deal with my depression that will make me feel better. So in hindsight, I live in the present.

The moon is pretty. Thank you for reading. Have a great night.

      1. Yes it is hard to remain happy always. That is where coffee comes in, when I drink coffee I can be happy a little bit longer 😁. Also, apples and salads also help with my moods, which is great. So happiness isn’t that far away.
