“To be fully alive, fully human, and completely awake is to be continually thrown out of the nest.” ― Pema Chödrön
For the last two months, I seem to have fallen into a funk that comes without many thoughts or explanations. I am reminded of what an invisible force depression can be, that on the surface we can be smiling, and seemingly bright, but on the inside, doing everything in our power to hold back tears and just ‘keep it together.’ I am reminded how little we know of what is really happening for someone and how important is to treat our strangers with empathy and care, for who knows where they have been or where they are going, and what feelings lie just underneath the surface.
