What is your favorite form of escapism?
Let me ask you another question, what are you trying to escape from?
Have you noticed that the only thing that bothers you is always around you? you cant escape it…
We always try to run away from it, we comply with its demands.
It needs money, it needs friends, it needs a social life, it requires validation, and it wants lots of things.
While I have written these few sentences, I have gotten up once, and have contemplated going on my phone to use TikTok.
Nothing is happening yet my anxiety and my need to self-soothe has 10 folded. But why? What is so uncomfortable that I need runaway from…
Maybe you haven’t yet discovered that the only thing you fear is your mind.
The only thing controlling you is your mind, the only thing you want to control is your mind.
The only thing that exists is your mind.
So today instead of distracting yourself with your surroundings, tell your mind that you are here.
That you are here to listen to it, that you want to get to know it.
Just for a moment, allow your thoughts to be, and allow yourself to enjoy the chatter, the silliness, the uncomfortableness, the fear, the hate, the darkness, the loss, the happiness, the joy, the peace.
Allow yourself to experience all of it, and then realize, that all these feelings are coming from within you. And as you allow this understanding to permeate your being, you give yourself compassion for being a human being.
How do you feel knowing that you are the love you are seeking?
