Another day, another existential breakdown
Please Don’t Let Fear Motivate You
You don’t have to live in the past.
It seems like the last year of my life has been one big tower moment. There is no coffee break for me. There is no vacation from the insanity. It’s as if the more I climb and reach higher ground, the more the universe sees that it can send me further and more mind-shattering situations. They come fast and furious these days. They come without any warning or any way I can possibly predict them.
That’s kind of fun most of the time. No one likes boredom!
I don’t even remember what it was like before this era of my life. Was I living in a calmer world, or was it just my perception?
As I seem to find new ways to open my own mind and stay resilient against the wild and wacky situations, the people coming at me seem to be more and more in denial. How is this possible? Well, they mirror my pain. They mirror the darkest side of me. My own ability to live in denial is played out in front of my eyes.
If I get stronger by surrendering to the mysteries of life, I meet people who have chosen to get “stronger” by building walls around them to shut out the pain.
