“The one thing money can’t buy,” said Luckey, “is people who liked you before you had money. I’m very lucky that I met my wife back when I had literally nothing. When we met, I had less than $300 in my bank account … I probably should have gotten married, should have married her when I was 16. Looking back, I think that’s probably my radical belief.”

This is what declining health looks like
Being indifferent is a low energy state
Depression = low energy
A state of depression is a state of low energy
That’s the literal root definition
Think about it have you ever met someone that’s super high energy and depressed?
I’m not talking suicidal. That stems from something different and doesn’t require depression.
True depression simply means you are in a low energy state.
And the solution is to raise your energy
What is one of the clearest indicators of declining health?
Fatigue aka low energy
Most people don’t experience this until late 20s when the poor health decisions have finally caught up with them. And Interestingly enough that’s when most people give into their circumstances.
It’s when they give up on their hopes, desires and dreams.
I firmly believe this is the result of declining energy levels NOT the mental desire to give up.
That’s where a deep depression begins to take root and festers for the rest of their life until one day they wake up and realize they fucked up.
So if you are in a low energy state like the person below the best thing you can do is start moving.
Clean your room. Go for a walk. Go hiking. Go workout. Get some sun. Eat clean food. Call up some friends and go go-karting. Play laser tag (or airport). Go sky diving. Go race cars on a race track. Go to a comedy show. Volunteer at a local garden. Clean up your local park/beach. Take a dance class. Go harass the local homeless populace. Go beat up some kids. Go visit a nice museum. Go ask 20 girls or guys out. Pick up a new hobby. Join a club.
Just do something that requires energy.
Anything.
It truly doesn’t matter.
The key is to demand more energy from your body.
Energy begets energy
If you don’t use it you lose it.
I’ve had to go thru this process countless times in my life.
I’ll go thru periods of depression stemming from my circumstances or due to unsolved problems from my childhood and start to isolate myself which leads to low energy which leads to less motivation to live life which leads to lower energy which leads to more isolation which leads to lower energy and so on
And then I find myself laying in my bed at 2pm on a Saturday watching some brainrot just to numb the pain of feeling like i’m throwing my life away. And might I add unconsciously. On the surface I tell myself it’s because I don’t care.
I don’t care about going out with friends.
Or trying to date new girls.
Or exploring a new hobby
Or creating a new story
“I’ve done it all” or so I tell myself.
Then I get fed up with it after i’ve fallen into a deep depression.
And then I go back to the basics.
Clean my room and hit the gym.
Do anything but stay at my apartment.
And within a matter of days or weeks my depression starts evaporating.
And then I feel like a completely different person
I know it’s hard to imagine when you’re in the throes of a deep depression, but take it from someone that’s been on the brink of ending it multiple times and felt there was no way out or feeling like I just didn’t care. The answer is to FUCKING GET MOVING!
That’s it.
You’ll figure out the rest when you have the energy to solve your problems again
But you’ll never do it laying in your bed or isolating yourself.
Losing your spark is optional.
