before my grandpa died last month, there be times i'd get depressed, thinking about things i shouldn't bother thinking on. i wanted so much to get over it completely. because i wasn't always sad, but then, i wasn't always happy either. when my grandpa died, things changed, i no longer think on what i use to think on. i care less about what i do. i'm not ugly towards people, its just i care a lot less than i use to. and i have noticed some of my morals that felt wrong to do, i find it easy, and slowly breaking my own promises i made to myself. and it doesn't bother me.

i am curious if its a normal reaction, and hoping it won't fade. i feel more free. i don't want that to fade away. i don't want to be the guy i use to be that cared more than he should. heh, when i word it like that i sound like i'm broken. ah well, cheers!

    It is normal. It's probably due to the fact that your grandpa was of great significance to you and once that's stripped away, it's becomes almost something of "What's the point?". To some extent, he was probably one of the reasons why you cared so much. To please him or make him proud.

    But caring is essential to a good living. Sure, you might feel free for now but results will come. There are others things and people in your life that deserve to see you do well in life.

    I actually do hope this fades away but it's probably going to take a little time. I guess it's just a side affect of your grief. Good luck. <3

    It sounds to me like you're running away from your feelings.
