Sometimes, there is a calm. Sometimes I get rest from the entire world, it seems, that there is a moment I have to myself where nothing disturbs me. Just for a moment. It's something that overcomes me and passes, something I cannot plan, sometimes to go by relatively unnoticed. It is not really a moment of clarity, just a sense that whatever is going on in my life, that everything will be all right. See if you've had them too — they're brief, and their quiet nature is so that they are merely segues between one chaos of life to the next. Not deep thinks are they, but moments of pleasant lightness that may bring a slight smile.
If you think back, you'll probably find that you've had them, and didn't know what they were. They are no deep mystery. They are quiet hopes strengthening themselves amid the bustle and tussle of daily travels and daily busies. They are your heart taking over from your head just for a moment, telling you to relax for a second, that things tend to work themselves out — sometimes better than you can imagine. We get stuck sometimes, stuck in the crunch of everything needs to get done yesterday — these little times unstick us for a brief interlude, when somehow, you don't need to make sense of things, and just to be is enough.

I can't tell you; this site must remain anonymous. If you need a name, use the one I made up: Stan Dee (it's just Stand, separated out).

yay for those who are familiar with heavy depression.
I feel sorry for those who have never been grounded
but I would never wish this pain on anyone unless they are evil.
I am talking about the kind of non-physical pain that can physically stop me from functioning. This kind of pain drops me to a dark place of confusion. makes me realize I am truely lost.
It makes me thirsty for truth and meaning.
It makes me search for what is real and honest.
it makes me beleive there is a god.

i have those little calm moments, they r usually when i know im gonna get into trouble for something when i get home but i cant do anything about i seem to just accepts it and think about something else without realising it, then hop off the train and see my parents angry faces and think oops to myself listen to their angryness and then go into that calmness again. or maybe its just coz im dosile...hmmm actually i think thats what it is.
