Kafka made me sad, Emerson lifted me back up
Well, not just Kafka, I did a triple platinum existential depression session by reading Moby Dick > The Trial > A Short Stay In Hell back to back.
I was struggling on what to read next, and after reflecting on some of the darker themes, I found myself on Project Gutenberg and ended up downloading Nature by Ralph Waldo Emerson.
Reading this felt like an antidote to the darkness and fear of the unknown I've been mulling over. Just the way he writes about the world around us, it feels so soothing on my mind. I'd love to explore more of his essays and any other writing.
