You're right Clara. That's why I prefer to follow my heart. To seek out knowledge and wisdom and the deeper things of life. I'm stuck in the world I created through 59 years of living. I made many errors in judgment and now I'm paying the price. Sadly though, those who had the most influence over time did nothing but reinforce my own self loathing and frustration. Those are the people I'm supposed to be like! Just like that article. It is always someone else who determines what is normal or what is depression.

If I had my druthers, I'd wander the land earning enough to feed myself and provide shelter from the cold and rain. What a wonder it would be to meet people of the land with great tales of exploration and wisdom. People who don't expect anything from me but an ear to listen and a smile to brighten their day.
