"Because in the end, it turns out that life demands more than a will to survive out of you. Life demands that you do not live solely for the sake of breathing, but for hope. For family. For friends. For experiences. For change. For future. For helping others. Life demands that you own up to all of your ugly while also recognizing your beautiful. It demands that you let go of the idea of “perfection” that society clings so heavily to, and that you live your life with messes."

It’s interesting, you often hear people say, “I hate the world.” Yet they go outside and still find beauty all around. Maybe even those of us who are even more bitter and lonelier than others—weirdly enough—find even more beauty in the world.

Why so serious?

Today belongs to you just as much as it does anyone else, so you have the right to make it a good day. Whoever or whatever tries to mess it up for you, simply say "not today!" And walk away.

The decision to choose happiness and peace is yours to make.

Live long, be well and smile my lovely people 🌷🌻

22.

Developing a personal aesthetic that is just an amalgamation of the myriad of aesthetics that resonate with you, because fuck it -- you are meant to be happy and picking one “look” may not encompass the whole that is you.

Cleaning the house in preparation for a severe organization overhaul, and feeling accomplished.

Fresh, in season strawberries as big as your goddamn fist.

A day at home alone.  A full day.  Truly alone.

Summer vacation.

Our Amazing Physical Experience

We are spiritual beings having a physical experience, and our experience in this physical world has merits.

The physical world certainly puts a lot of constraints and inconvenience in our lives. For example, manifestations here are slow and require much effort; we are limited by time; we can't travel at will; we have to do a lot of work to sustain a healthy physical body. However, because of our limitations in this world, we can learn lessons, and experience beauty that may not be available in other worlds and dimensions:

1. Focus, Patience and determination A house has to be built brick by brick. A mountain has to be removed bit by bit. To achieve our goals, we learn to maintain our focus, be patient and practice determination.

2. Prioritization and planning Because time is limited, we have to decide wisely which tasks we need to do first. Because materials are limited, we have to figure out how to use and distribute them effectively. Thus, we learn how to prioritize, make plans and make decisions.

3. Precision and meticulousness Due to our inability to move at will in this world, humanity develops airplanes. An airliner requires millions of components assembled together with close-to-perfect precision in order for it to fly safely in the sky. Truly an art to build a craft to such details with tremendous precision!

4. Courage, strong will, and self-sacrificing It is not hard when one is Superman trying to save a person from a burning building, but it requires courage, strong will, and a self-sacrificing personality for a human to do so. We get to see and experience the beauty of a mortal executing something difficult, risky, or even seemingly impossible.

5. Faith and devotion When we can't foresee the future, it requires faith to make an important life decision, and both faith and devotion to keep it for years to come. It is particularly beautiful when one continues devoting themselves to an important cause or something higher than themselves despite all the physical situations seemingly going against it. It shows the true characters of a person.

I used to live there, six or so years past. This makes my heart hurt. There's little like it, especially the temperate rainforest, but it's all so heart-wrenchingly natural and lovely.
