I felt it swallow me up whole too. So I pose to you the question: What are you going to do now? Me? I am going to pry myself away from this computer, take a nice long shower, and go outside and get some fresh air, maybe have a meal.
When we let the emptiness consume us, it wins, and therefore we become defeated.
Taking an active leap to be your own savoir is what truly brings us out of the darkness.
Wishing you peace
