Everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.
— Luke 11:10
Lately, I've fallen into discouragement and sadness about various situations and predicaments in my life.
I can usually tell when I'm on a journey towards Depression Ave, and it's usually a conscious decision on my part.
And though it's been a good while since I last visited, the surroundings are still vividly familiar.
On the way I pass all of the usual signs and banners:
Discouragement. Pressure. Loneliness. Despair. Nostalgic melancholy.
