Seriously though? I disagree.

I mean, I am in this place right now, but I remember how it felt to meditate long ago: it's not about stopping the shit in your head, it's about letting it all out (edit: I mean, letting the thoughts happen, letting them pass). And feeling the absolute opposite of empty afterwards. That makes me hopeful. Maybe I can gather enough self-discipline to start meditating again.

There's all different kinds of meditation tho... If I try to "let it out" I tend to spiral, so for cases like that there are practices that help you redirect the thoughts. In other practices yes, you do confront them, often checking in for guidance by someone experienced. In other practices you try to think about them without any "ego / identity". etc.
