Stagnation


Stagnation is never a good thing. Life is meant to bring joy, vitality, growth, bliss, fulfillment. Don't let your fears or the disordered need for security and comfort keep you from pursuing what will make you thrive as opposed to just survive.

Where are you settling? Where are not not aligned with your values? How are you showing up?

In life and in love, you should never be asked to stay down, play small, dim your shine. You don't owe anyone a commitment just because you promised it before you knew any different. Embrace change and those who can embrace and navigate it with you will do great things.



Consider the long term impact of what you do today: stay the same or change something. Remember that the rest of your life is bigger than one feeling, one person, one moment or one day.

The boy who was (never) good enough

A way to be loving A way to be loved Giving up your own needs  For the sake of harmony. Did you have a mother who was always sad? Were you the one to delight her? Did you face the pain of choosing a path That took you away or made you unkindly? Was your brother the asshole And you didn’t mind it Because it meant you could be the one To fix feelings all around you. And when you were older Did you pick girls that reminded You of the woman who was always demanding? And did you feel good  When you provided  All of the joy that wasn’t inside her? But when you messed up Were you the same disappointment? The boy who was (never) good enough But couldn’t stop striving. I hope one day you see That you’re worthy of love Without needing to give Or be perfect. Above all I hope you reme...
