ARP 024 Dark Night of the Soul and Chocolate

The are clouds but there is also chocolate. Your mission is to find pleasure or passion that is independent of what the world tells you that you should be feeling. It is okay not to feel "happy" or "joyful" 

It is not okay to constantly beat yourself up about it. Find your safe place. Internally or externally.
