As the story goes, I was 15 and wanting to die when I stumbled upon the Tao Te Ching in my fatherβ€˜s library. It saved me. it took me out of my suffering and made me realize that I had experienced so little of the world. I clung to this book and carried it everywhere. I used to post pages as my MySpace bulletins 😭 Eventually the light returned, and although I have wanted to die many times after that, I learned from that experience that it will always pass. And when my father died, this is the one thing of his that I asked for.

This book changed my life when I was 16, reframing the way I think about daily challenges and the ebb and flow of life and such. There’s an effortless clear-pilledness to these words. I return to them often and keep a pocket-sized version in my backpack at all times. Chapter 11 resonates the most with me right now.

Breaking my very thin, almost non existent air of mystery because I got a haircut I actually like, my favorite jeans fit again, it’s a full moon eclipse, 70Β°, and both of my kids’ birthdays are today!! MAGIC IS REAL AND I AM FULL OF LOVE! πŸ’— πŸ’—πŸ’—πŸ’—πŸ’—πŸ’—
