I’m not depressed, I’m discontent.

"If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world."
-- C.S. Lewis


I’m not depressed, I’m discontent. I’ve lived a very happy life surrounded by amazing and supportive people. I look at some situations and wonder how people cope and wake up every day. I feel like I personally don’t have the right to get down about my trivial dilemmas; scattered worries that cloud an otherwise perfect existence. My greatest demon in the back of my mind is the one screaming out , “There’s more to life and you’re missing it!”. Contentment is my carrot just out of reach. My numerous and immeasurable dreams often frighten me. Not dreams you have in your sleep or even daydreams; real-life tangible endeavors. I’m on the edge of the diving board about to jump off but I keep letting others hold me back. Who is this girl that has surrendered her will to the influence of everyone around her? It’s time to take the first step - God, I'm all yours, discontent to not be content anymore.
