I must admit now that yes I am in the dull-drums.

When you spend a lot of time alone, like I do, you often do much introspection.  Mix in a mind that is continually racing and you begin to almost talking to yourself.

I have always thought and believed that I was comfortable in my own skin.  Well I find myself rethinking that.  Maybe, I try to put on a brave outward face when others are around.  The opposite is true when I am alone and look into the mirror, turn my thoughts inward into the dark corners of my mind.

I cannot think of one reason why I have sunk deep down into the abyss.

“He who fights with monsters should be careful lest he thereby becomes a monster. And if thou gaze long into an abyss, the abyss will also gaze into thee.” (Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil. Aphorism 146)

Relax, I am not a monster!

 

I am not sure how long this will last with me, but, I am going to allow myself travel down this road.

Getting comfortable in my own skin!
