The emotional river is meant to flow. Keep it in its banks, don't disrupt its flow and you will be okay.

Stillness is a choice, not a destination.

@duka92 Yep. Life is about expansion not just existing or solving life's inevitable problems.

@duka92 Yes it is.

Am I willing to be the full inheritance of my own life, even if no one else ever receives it?

#philosophy

I want answers I don't have. Questions I haven't asked. Words I haven't written. Memories I haven't experienced.

#philosophy

Life is a journey. Count the blessings not the potholes.

#philosophy

Yes, the river is always changing. Yes, feelings and memories rise and fall like currents. But I can learn to recognize the movement. I can understand the pattern. I don't have to drown in it every time.

This world-order, the same of all, no god nor man did create, but it ever was and is and will be: everliving fire, kindling in measures and being quenched in measures.This world-order, the same of all, no god nor man did create, but it ever was and is and will be: everliving fire, kindling in measures and being quenched in measures. ~Herculitus

Your identity is meant to be static—never changing. Yet, you now are not the you that was born. Why do we expect the identity we give to an infant to fit the adult the infant grows into? Do we expect adults to wear infant clothes? No. Why do we expect adults to wear infant identities? Growth is not limited to your physical form. Your identity grows too and should change with you, in whatever way you need it to.

Change isn't the enemy—it's the path to authenticity.
#philosophy

We trade mystery for mastery and forget that some truths aren't meant to be proven—they're meant to be known in the heart—not the mind.

Sartre's words...

"But on the other hand, it helps people to understand that reality alone counts, and that dreams, expectations, and hopes only serve to define a man as a broken dream, aborted hopes, and futile expectations; in other words, they define him negatively, not positively."

My own words...
Maybe the point isn’t to define myself at all, positively or negatively. Maybe I just am. Not a broken dream. Not a failed hope. Just presence. Just spirit. Just enough.

#philosophy

We are not projects to complete,
but souls to remember.
Our worth is not earned through struggle,
it is embodied through being.

#philosophy

I don’t need to trust the world to be fair, people to be good, or things to work out a certain way. I only need to trust that I’ll be okay — even if they’re not.
