I Am Depressed

I'm not going through depression right now, but I still have the most depressing thoughts. Today on my school bus, I sat by myself near the window, which is how I prefer. I saw my sweater in the reflection (yes I have an obsession with sweaters even in the spring time)
I saw every thread in the sweater and I looked down and saw my hand resting on my sleeve.
I noticed how different my hand is from the sweater, obviously, as they are two different things. But I also realized that these big things are made of small things.
The sweater, made of multiple threads, loomed in a pattern. My hand, with traces of lines that leave fingerprints.
I found it strange how I was taking a second to take that all in while hours earlier, I was focused on what to say next to a friend, or how to fix my hair without people thinking I'm little miss perfect.
I realized how strange it was that at that moment, life was so beautiful.
The patterns in my sweater, so simple, so fragile, and special.

This depresses me because I find a sweater more appealing than my own life.

I think it's important to remember something here, we often detach things from our own life... that sweater you enjoyed because it was apart of your life... you found your hand beautiful because it is apart of your being. See things are about perspective and how you choose to look at them :)

I couldn't agree more.
