#the analogy probably has some holes I haven't thought about...ehh I hope you get what I mean anyway.

I was starting to type this in the tags of the previous ask but it got too long-winded and besides the point so I thought to make a separate post. This is to everyone reading that might be in the case of the funk™ (like, funk in general) as well, since I have experienced it many times, and will keep to as long as I live, as it's just a thing of life. I don't know where I heard this from, and if my brain concocted some parts of it at some point, but... life truly is like a river. Sometimes you encounter rocks, some small, some big, some easy to get through, some more difficult. But the water gets through it as long as it keeps flowing. Sometimes there are a bunch of rocks, rocks that block the passage completely. But if the water doesn't stop and stagnate, the flow will eventually erode the rocks, and water will be able to flow again. That is to say... you may rest, you may slow down, but never give up, never stop flowing. As long as you don't give up, at some point you will overcome the rocks.
