Pain is a part of nature and the cycle of life
To complain and stress about pain is to complain about the beauty of life The beauty of life is not only the happy moments in life but the fact that something comes after,
Pain is part of what it means to be human
It is not the enemy Even if it was,
Acceptance and love for yourself will triumph everytime
been working hard to internalize a quote i read online recently. it says “the time will pass anyway whether i handle it emotionally or not… how utterly pointless to suffer so much & still choose to be miserable”. reminds me of that old Seneca quote, Something about the man who worries before necessary, suffers twice. when things already suck, i still have the option to be happy & make things better for myself. i know it sounds easier said than done but many times I’ve found myself rejecting this notion when a little bit of kindness towards myself, a deep breath & some patience would’ve gotten me through. every Moment is an opportunity to turn things around & make myself happy. gratitude helps a lot w this. blurting This all out here coz i know it’s an idea ill soon forget once im actually in the throes of a tough time ⭐️
someone snapped this at a recent show. love it because I look old as hell and I’m grateful to have been around with good friends and hobbies this long.
