"But I live in my own light, I drink back into myself the flames that break from me."
nietzsche
watching the swirling pond funnel into an abyss and then fill back up again. Eternal act of failure and birth. Go easy on yourself. Its Wednesday just fucking chill.

as many very wise people have said comparison is the thief of fucking joy. I mean you hear these things time and time again but the validity of the statement never really reigns true until you are on the other side of it; in the muck, reflecting on all the ways in which you are not where you are "supposed" to be or meandering over the experiences everyone else around you has had. I won't lie to you and say that I fully believe that the derailments we face or the adversities one might endure are necessarily all products of "higher" teachings BUT I do believe that we rob ourselves of so much dignity when we use these hardships as anchors to what the rest of the world is pushing upon you. it is okay to take your time. it is okay to fail and not know how to pick back up the pieces. society SHOULD encourage everyone to move in accordance to their own natural rhythm and not make people conform into these perceived notions of growth. move at your own pace. we are all flailing around trying to figure this shit out. seek fulfillment as you chose. be gentler with yourself. being alive is already hard enough, and you've made it this far... and that pretty fucking incredible to me!

hiii i have found it is so easy to spiral when thinking about the way things are or the way they went. it is easy 2 lose yrself in a stream of whatifs forever ever with no end but just for a day when i let myself live in the present the world was clearer than it had been in years! i think you should do that more. let things go and enjoy in the present. you deserve to live
these r the rocks i found. remember the past, accept it, focus on what u want in the present. i love you and i love being alive

life isnβt about balance
it shifts between lows and highs, both important, neither to be ignored
but i donβt feel most at peace when i am in the middle of the two, perfectly balanced
i am at peace when i accept i am where i am
i exist as a teetering scale constantly shifting never resting never falling apart
(i am tired of crashing out)
