    This hit a little too close for me. I felt this way when I was in the military. It’s important to remember to slow down for your own sake. Civilization is getting faster but I think the individuals need to take pauses to regroup and gather their thoughts.

    I tend to go on walks in the woods or beach or some other nature backdrop. Find out what works for you, but sometimes just taking time to pause and look around is enough for your brain to workout problems behind the scenes.

    Sorry you feel empty sometimes. I do too. I think that feeling is a natural response to the world we are living in. That’s why I need time to slow down.
