Somehow, the weight of depression and depressive feeling lifted earlier yesterday… it was a sense of lightness on my heart that… I cant remember when was the last time I had that feeling…

All the weight of the world, the worries, the pressures I put on myself, and any burdens of the past – all non-existence.

I’m just in a state of peace.

Then I realised, when you are in complete peace in your heart, the default emotion is one of simple happiness.

Then I realised, when you are in complete peace in your heart, the default emotion is one of simple happiness.

Not unlike how babies are, where smiling is just so natural to them – because they are at peace; there are no pressures or expectations on them – they just be in the present and at peace with themselves.

Not unlike the smile of the Buddha, omnipresent in the sculptures of the enlightened one, in every temple and religious site.

Not unlike the gayish happiness of Frodo and his hobbit friends, where they just have so much joy and happiness that just cannot be resisted from flowing out…

 

Its just such a familiar feeling that I had not had for such a long time…. that I had actually forgotten about how it felt to be genuinely “content” and “carefree”….

Suddenly, everything is beautiful; everything is extra colorful; everything puts a smile on my face; the future looks brighter, and all the more hopeful. And it creates an aura around you. An aura of happiness and joy, and explodes inside you and pours out in the way you behave, the way you talk, the way you move, the way you look at someone.

Its just such a familiar feeling that I had not had for such a long time…. that I had actually forgotten about how it felt to be genuinely “content” and “carefree”….

It is like that gif of Frodo above, at the scene before he leaves Middle Earth for good… it is an emotion that, it just cannot be understood by someone who is not in that very state of bliss and peace.

It is an emotion that wants to put tears in your eyes, but yet you can’t cry or tear it out – it just a sense of touch and elation – that is quiet but yet so full at the bottom of the heart.

It is lifted. And may it be lifted forever.
