Defining This Nonsense

I suppose it would be wrong of me to not explain my reasoning for the name of this blog. Let's look at the definition of "altschmerz" (its in the description of this blog). In short, its the idea that old pains and creators of weariness are ever present in one's life. In my personal experience, I have felt this. I have felt the droning pain of a pain that I assumed would become a constant in my life. The weight of this can be, and was, unbearable for me. It lead me down a path of anxiety and depression that pushed me into many things and kept me from living the life I wanted to live. So, how does one get out of that? Thus came the naming of this blog.
I wanted to show people my journey in order to help them. I wanted to show how I was able to escape this altschmerz in order to create a better life for myself. The new things I found alone helped me escape. I found philosophy and the written word of many authors. So, let's all find something new together as I had in order to life a happy life.
