Feeling the inner void

First off, 147 days. That's just too cool!
Hmm, about the void. I think that a lot of us can relate to that feeling when we look inside ourselves and suddenly everything in our lives shrinks into insignificance and we're left staring into the void. And it always seems to be our most base urges that are willing to rush right up and say "pick me, I'll fill that void". How have I dealt with it? Well, I try not to feel threatened by that void. Maybe my inner-self is creating that void for me so that I take some stock on what's been going on in my life, how I feel, the choices I've made. Maybe it's an invitation for some self-examination, some self-realization. So, the first thing I do is to tell my base urges to shut the hell up, and go away. And then I just exist in the void until it's ready for me to leave, or I decide to leave.
That's my two cents worth. Hope I didn't get too existential. Take care.
