Indifference and Life

[snowman10]

So I seem to be in a state of perpetual indifference, just short of depression actually. The thing is, I don’t know completely why.

My girlfriend and I get along fine, but I am just growing “bored”. I still love her but she is always moody and not so fun as she once was. School is ok, but I am getting ready to transfer to a Physician Assistant program to get my Masters. Plus I just got my EMT-B certification

I really want to start RCIA again but I have to admit, I am afraid and unsure of my will power to go through with it.

There are days I sit at my desk and say to myself that I just cannot do this for another 60 years. Almost as if I am tired of life. Not suicidal, just blah.

What do I do?

The more I resist the call to holiness, the more the mundane things (music, video games, etc) become sapped of their color and do not bring joy. I’m 38 going on 39 and I gotta get it together. If you are younger, respond to the call to holiness now so you do not have to say ten years later what a waste of time not responding to it was.

“You have made us for yourself, and our hearts are rest-less till they find their rest in you.” St Augustine wrote that in his Confessions.

That God-shaped hole that exists in each of us, that nothing else can ever fill to our satisfaction, is in need of nourishment whenever the things of this world pall.

So in other words be a better Catholic?

Do more things for God?

Become a Priest? Single-Life? Monk? Marrried?

So dang frustrating life is.

I understand how you feel. It’s hard to feel enthusiastic about life when everything that’s going wrong in the world comes at you the first thing every morning. Either via TV, the internet or the front page of the paper. Oh, and the radio, too. I used to work for a doctor and I was surprised at the number of people who were on anti-depressant medication. People who I thought had every reason to be happy with life. Didn’t matter if they were married or not. I think maybe the blahs that we feel (I have them too) is partly due to sensory overload. I don’t watch TV, read the paper or listen to talk radio. It helps a little. Life is hard, and God is good. That’s it in a nutshell.
