No one knows what it's like...
To be the sad man...
Self portrait. 8.31.15
Inspiration struck as I pondered some of the bigger concepts in life such as happiness.
I have felt the effects of depression most of my adult life and have chosen to fight it for well over 15 years now. I refuse to allow depression to rule me. I refuse to succumb to doubt or any other form of negativity for any length of time.
I am, however, still human. So I feel. I get down. I have regrets. etc. And as I creep ever closer to middle-age, I have begun to notice I am not content with my life - mostly the me part of my life. My physical condition, my energy levels, my career, and a few other things are not what I had always hoped they would be. Thank God for my lovely, wonderful wife who keeps me sane!
So, these thoughts sparked the idea that may well become a series for me.
Depression, Adulthood, Responsibilities, Missed opportunities, Raging against the machine, The Inner Youth, Rebellion, and more are concepts I wish to explore here.
PS CS6 and Cintiq - roughly 3 hours
