I head to a cultural institution; an art museum to view art that inspires my soul; a zoo where animals remind me that we as a species are not alone on this earth; or a park where I can sit and contemplate life enveloped by nature. These are my churches.

Friendships.

The Tao

Now, I look deep within, to find who, why where and when, and keep plowing through the hard feelings! In due time, it does change. Before, when I was connected to religion...I thought that god, would support me, until the anguish past...I usually waited and nothing much different happened. I feel stronger on the outside of religious supports, strange as that sounds!

I read Montaigne, Bertrand Russell, listen to the music and keep being optimistic.

Depends on the type of hardship. My goto option for my depression is binge watching It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. If it's more of a lack of motivation or inspiration, I read and/or watch Fight Club or listen to Hatebreed.
