During Covid, I started playing the guitar, and really got into it, and over 5 years later, I've gotten pretty good.
The biggest revelation was how much better I felt. I realized that I had been operating under a low grade depression for my entire life, I just never knew it, because it was my baseline feeling, for my entire life.
Now that I figured that out, I'm back to being depressed, because other than the guitar, all the other terrible shit is still in my life. Plus MAGA.
But at least I KNOW I'm depressed, so I got that going for me.
