The Daily Breaker Secondary Header Image

Last night depression hit from out of the blue and hit pretty hard. I'm used to it creeping up on me, but yesterday I woke up feeling fine and then BAM, I was just paralyzed with doubt. For about two hours I didn't nothing but stare at my computer monitor listening to songs that feed into these feeling of loss that I'm feeling.

I started doing this project so that I would have something that I enjoy to be accountable for on a daily basis in hopes that when these moments do hit they won't last long. We'll see how well that theory works. 

Right now this is the only stable thing I have in my life. The group of friends that I hang out with are going through a phase where there is no longer a guarantee of weekend hang outs, I'm in the process of transitioning out of the filmmaking career that was once a driving force in my life, I haven't had more than 20 dollars to my name in over two months, and the reality of the day job that's going to replace my dream job is sinking in, and to top it off I don't even have anyone that I fantasize about being in a relationship with, let alone anyone I feel close to in reality. I feel I have no one to turn to other than this blinking cursor that never answers back. 

I appreciate in advance anyone who stumbles upon this conversation I am having with said blinking cursor and offers to be that person I can turn to. It's a nice offer, but I know me and other than my appreciation for the offer I will only burden you with my problems through text on a page. 

That said I'm going to go easy on myself today, and fulfill the daily resolutions and then have a movie marathon of AFI 100 movies to round out the day.

Thanks for the read if you've gotten this far.
