 The good stuff is all the more precious for it's impermanence. It's easy to miss. Easy to forget. Easy to drown under entropy and darkness. But it's there if you look for it, watch for it. If you are kind to yourself it might even come to you, like a deer that steps out from the brush into the open when you sit perfectly still. Be kind to yourself 3 comments
Rather than overestimate my degrees of freedom to react one way or another to inputs, I try very hard to notice when my initial reactions are beyond my control, which tbh is always. There’s a great deal of distraction available in this self-examination. Distraction, for me, is in the small things of which @malcircuit speaks. If I’m distracted, I am uninterested in those things clamoring for my and everyone’s attention these days. Fook dot shite! SQUIRREL!!!!  @malcircuit What helps me is to think of right here, right now as this secret place only known to myself and those here with me. It flips the script. No longer is this moment worthless because it will vanish forever. Instead, that's the very reason it's so special. |

@malcircuit It is becoming increasingly difficult to be kind to myself. Sometimes I feel so caught up in the current state of the world that I forget my own needs.
I really needed to hear those words. Thank you. 💜
