Something I learned about myself over the years. But only made peace with it recently.
In the joined tension and bliss of 2 conflicting states, I learn from the best:
Be last to be first – Mark 9:35
Lose your life to save it – Mark 8:35
The greatness of serving – Mark 10:43-44
More blessed to give than to receive – Acts 20:35
Totally not confusing at all

-As is natural for beings, I wish to be in a healthy, loving relationship and not alone. That is okay to acknowledge and does not make me weak.
-As is natural for beings, it is okay to desire having many, meaningful friendships and good familial relationships, even if I do not. That is okay to acknowledge and does not make me weak.
-I wish to be freed of my attachment to material things, but it is naturally hard on this material plane. That is okay to acknowledge and does not make me weak.
-I am becoming more aware of my power to manifest physical reality while becoming more aware of my physical embodiment's nothingness, and that the power is shared equally by all but usable only in proportion to realization of your physical embodiment's nothingness.
-I know my perspective on living is right, but I also know the proper course of action is to proselytize with love, not condemn with contempt.
-There is nothing that can make me better than someone else, even acquiring knowledge, wisdom, virtue despite such being the fundamental occupation of higher beings (power and wealth for lesser beings), because we are all one entity. Only in lifting others can one lift oneself.
-No beings grouped by a trait should ever be denigrated. No beings grouped by a trait should ever be celebrated. These are equal evils.
Despite all the above,
sometimes, you need

Now is such a time.
Let it begin.

have so much to say about this; for brevity-sake, ill say that every challenge and pleasure you experience is meant to be observed, sometimes examined, to check-in about how you’re evolving in the process of being your best self.
success is ambiguous and subjective, it’s whatever it means to you, but for me it’s to be fully myself, take care and have a nice time.
when a shit thing happens or i don’t get my way i’ve come to see it as a blessing and purposeful, and i ask myself what i could possibly learn from it. there’s always a thing to learn, even if it’s mere acceptance. it’s saved my mental life, i tell ya that
sometimes you think you’ve ‘passed a test’ but the situation is a ‘pop quiz’ in a different format: how you perform on that assessment is not meant to trick you but to check in on your progress and maybe illuminate areas that still need your attention, something else to learn because the timing and scenario is different.
it’s beautiful.

The puffin is the latest addition to more than 180 known species—many of them sharks, corals, and other marine animals—that emit a luminous glow.
The fact that so many marine animals biofluoresce "tells us organisms are using light in ways we don't even see," John Sparks, curator of fishes at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City.

Honestly very hard for me to get into - I have ZERO coding knowledge and nothing I could really latch onto - knowledge transfer is how I learn. But https://futurecoder.io/ is great (after lots of Redditing)
