So is happiness and meaning :p

It’s not a sadness in the conventional sense—it’s more like a cocktail of nostalgia, hope, and meaning, stirred together with the wisdom of time.

It's in your body.

fundamentally anxious + defensively avoidant

what seems to make no sense is the so-called “making sense together.”

when is last time we truly see a tree?

it takes two to dance, one to exit, & zero diagnosis needed

the intense sensation of “in-between” feels so personal.

to self-love, to forgiveness, and to freedom.

these, too, shall pass.

some reading notes from Work on The Superego (A.H. Almaas, 1992)

When we go solo, we go deep.

& many good cries :p

the most hippie thing I've ever written

It's you, & it's not you.

"The highest authority is one's own experience of truth."

If you have ever wondered if life was worth living :)

As old as time :)

"Change is situational. Transition, on the other hand, is psychological. It is not those events, but rather the inner reorientation and self-redefinition that you have to go through in order to incorporate any of those changes into your life."

The lucky people are empowered by their loved childhood, while the unlucky ones spend their entire lives compensating for their lost childhood.

You only are free when you realize you belong no place – you belong every place – no place at all.
