The Void

I feel as if I am currently in a VOID.  I do not really feel happy, nor sad, nor angry.  I kind of feel nothing.I do what I have to do.  I put on an "animated" face while teaching, but it is a facade. I run, but only to get it done.  This has been the routine for the last two weeks, at least.

Not much else to report.

Professor, can you lean into Lent for some inspiration or motivation?

Of course, you know that your pipes would pull you right out of that void, if only there were some way you could feel comfortable welcoming them back into your life. But if that's not an option, is there some trusted person you could talk to, maybe a priest or a psychologist? Being alone in a void isn't a healthy or safe place to be. If you're stuck with drudgery for a while, you could mitigate it at least a little bit by finding someone to whom you can comfortably vent and unburden yourself.

You have really been grinding, and the grind can get to you. Easter is coming; spring is coming.

Actually, now that I think of it I'm that way most days. I guess I consider that normal for me.

On the roller coaster, an even and boring ride is better than too many highs and lows. (in my opinion)
