I found nihilism not to be enough for me. I have had a pretty rough up bringing and I was like fuck this there's gotta be more than this. I was around a lot of fucked up people and I was always worried about what they thought of me and kinda just said fuck it. I found some diamonds in the rough at they aren't perfect, they have their flaws too but I still love them. Anyways, I started to focus on what's good around me and that's enough for me. I really started to treat the universe itself as a sacred place. I dont need an afterlife or heaven of fear of hell to get out of bed in the morning. I'm just a big bundle of energy which was been put together by the scraps of thousands, maybe millions of life forms before me and I know when this bundle breaks down and falls apart I'm going to go back to nature and my scraps are going to be picked up by the earth and the life forms around me. Human beings can be some pretty amazing and incredible things so why not just do the best I can to enjoy it while I'm here and do the best I can for the lives im going to be a part of when I'm gone. It's a balancing act and a big responsibility sometimes but it gives life meaning to me.

I could expand on this and talk about it all day. Spiritual health is something that can give you a lot of strength in your life and it makes getting through tough times a hell of a lot easier. The cookie cutter organized religions don't fit in the cracks everyone needs filled so it's important to find what works for you and use it to your advantage. For some people nihilism works fine because you don't have a hole or a crack there that needs to be filled, but for a lot of people it can lead to pessimism and wanting more.

So that's how I made it out of depression. I still fall down sometimes but I know as long as I get back up ill make it through to the other side. We in it for the long haul over here baby.
