Description
I'm having quite difficult time in my personal life. Especially I'm being in a chapter of losing a person that I love, lots emotional stress has driven me to the edge of myself, and additionaly my health is on a setback because of the stress... that I didn't really know what to do, besides how the world became so empty in my heart.Though, I always had idea when I'm in a midst of enormous stress, travelling to very unusual places with emanating very peaceful energy to your mind and soul. That could be helpful to "find a peace in yourself" and answers.
However, this time I really didn't feel to go anywhere or do something for myself. But after battling with my mind, I decided to go, especially go through part of going through long hours of train rides and many hours of hiking in the mountains. At first, it made me to feel worse because I was thinking too much. Hiking didn't help a lot due to long, boring, monotous walk- it caused me to think even more. And I became even sadder.
I reached to the goal- which was very unusual. Peaceful lake in midst of dark, depressing and rageous clouds with bits of light shines.
Despite that I've reached there, for the entire Journey I've carried a baggage of my difficult and poignant feelings. It traversed along with me. No matter where I will go, if the feelings are not taken care of, fixed they will remain within you anywhere in the world. As there is that wise saying.
Of course that trip wasn't vain at all, at least I made some thinking and conclusions... I thought, I still have options to try out something...
After returning from that trip -despite that being in the nature I was still doing unwell during hike- I feel like I've gained some kind of faith. Maybe I can fix something that has been broken. An image of dark colored, with some vibrant, shimmering psychedelic lavender, indigo and turquoise colors of that lake is stuck in my mind...
Maybe there I should have also send my shattered heart into pieces to heavens, let it to heal...
I don't know.
Love is an untamed force.
Onto technical thing, I'm quite impressed of Sony SLT cameras that are are far more unique than DSLR...

Faith is a projection on reality, not reality. Believing and basing things on reality will be of much more benefit to you.

WE can run into depressing times, hard times, difficult times, whichever way you want to interpret it. But what we need to know is, that we can still breath. By breathing deeply during those times, at least a few times, you will start to calm yourself, and be able to just be peace.Β
That's at least how I see it. And it always worked for me. By just breathing, especially deep breaths.
Thanks for sharing this lovely picture!Β

You are not alone through this dear, though the heart may ache with fierce grief, the wound is a gateway to greater opportunity. A new dimension of love and new beginnings shone here through your journey. Take this moment of falling and stress and take the step forward of embracing it, all of it...and let it drive you deeper to nourish and forgive.....Never give up.

Sometimes, only sometimes, it can help to tell your mind that your feelings are only feelings, they come and they go but they are only feelings. The feelings are not you, they are separate from your self. They may feel overwhelming and so powerful that the mind can not think of anything else but they are still only feelings.
It is important to have feelings, to allow them to be, not to suppress them. It is also important to keep trying to be in the "here and now" with your mind.
Have you heard of Mindfulness?
π: 0 β©: 2
i forgot to add XD : at the end, I'd say that isn't the best idea to manipulate your mind that feelings are just feelings at any occassion (but hey, logically, it sounds like a good idea!) because of the result later. It's manipulating with yourself and your self existence along with your consciousness, sub and feelings. And that part should remain the most true. In the pure truth. Even through manipulating is a way just to chill out yourself.Β
I don't appreciate (though, again, rationally, it's better for our system of our humanity from cities!) ability of people that can manipulate, pretend or hide feelings (even just in a good way, in way that they think that they can protect themselves!). The best is... to let them to go in true state but in a safe way :>
Such like, speak out what you feel (without blaming the world and yourself too much) and get people who can listen you out and send positive energy, thoughts or just words. Easy, but that's the inter-relations with humans. A little thing.

Mindfulness is all about the "here and now". It is a way of protecting your self from depression. Part of it is the circle of mindfulness which goes: perceive -> accept -> let go -> perceive ...
Practicing mindfulness for a few minutes everyday can lead to a more relaxed attitude towards your feelings, regardless of how difficult a phase of life you're currently going through.
I absolutely agree that feelings are important and that you're not supposed to suppress them. Being aware/mindful about them is not suppressing them. It is also not about rationalizing them away or brushing them off as unimportant.
Still, they are feelings, your self is more, much more than those feelings and the goal is to not allow them to overpower everything else, so that you will not become paralyzed and unable to do/think anything at all.
An example of mindfulness:
You could hear a loud noise and immediately become annoyed or angry, because of previous bad experience that has gone into your consciousness or subconsciousness. That feeling of anger is not you. It is a feeling. By being mindful about it, you could just describe the perception "there was a loud noise" without judging it or jumping through to the automated feeling which is triggered by previous experience, accept it and let it go without getting angry.
By doing that, over a long period of time, we can discover which feelings are real and which feelings are because of previous unfortunate conditioning of our minds.
(English is not my primary language either

Personally I don't agree that feelings are a separate thing and as well just "only". Feelings (the true ones, without pretending) are beyond the mind (mind is a collection of informations of what we learned (like an encyclopedia of words and codes) and that comes from the OUTSIDE world. All what mind has collected is outer thing, not real you. Feelings are something that is in yourself. Feel of spirit, energy and existence. Feelings are along with intuition and your existence. Feelings are beyond the mind.
Though, faster I'd say it's all about what our subconsciousness has coded for us.
But I agree it's about ability of "be here and now"...Β
I am not sure, I might have heard in a different language since English is not my primary language. But I'd like to hear it from you.Β

Hiking can sometimes make ones brain so vivid that it can come to conclusions that can at times, be seriously depressing..
But it does however, help the mind to reach solutions that being continually depressed isn't ones only option, if you get me.
Maybe thats why we are encouraged to go travelling at a younger age to get an idea of what
we want to do in life in the future as well as to settle and tame our internal emotions and thoughts.
I hope your heart, soul, body and mind settles.
And love is definitely a force to be reckoned with
and it scares a lot of us off from approaching it

I wish you'll be fine because you're a good person.

thanks, i am glad you view me like that but I need to be a better person for myself. Seeing myself in that state, I feel like I have a big hole in my subconsciousness...
Sometimes I hate my passionate fragility of myself to the world, because on the level of feelings, I am way too sensetive, passionate and emotional ><
