Pain is Inevitable, but misery is optional

An ideal world is one that knows no pain. That, sadly, is not the one we live in. Pain is a part of the human experience—but failure to move on from it makes you miserable. If you dwell too much on what has happened, you will never be fulfilled enough to see all the good you have/ that is to come. Acceptance of what has happened is the first step to overcoming the consequences of a situation. ‘And in fact, it’s time to forsake someone else’s idea of what gives you a spark or no spark. Block the “other” from the picture. No more audience. Just you.’ Whether you choose to take that responsibility (of acceptance), or give it up to the disappointments of life, you return to yourself. The choice is whether to wallow in the misery of that pain, or take it as it comes and look at what it has to offer you.

Be Patient and Tough; Someday this pain will be useful to you

by the poet Ovid. A nice reminder that you are stronger now than you were a minute ago. Keep going.

mantra right now

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 ⭐️

having It figured out..

The only thing to figure out is that there is nothing to figure out, you just exist. You aren’t a project that has a final answer, you are a just person. Even if there was such an answer, what if you never ”figure it out”? Will that stop you from living the life you want to live? The answer to that question should always be no (unless you’re a scoundrel then control yaself) Just existing isn’t the end of this, but choosing to live will be

Buy a book

It’s so beautiful as a previous book worm to rediscover your love for books. School can make it tiresome to read sometimes but a quick point of view change is needed. Reading leisurely can be so relaxing. Changing my perspective to relaxation instead of it being a “chore” or reminding me of school helped me massively. Got an urge to scroll? Pick up that book!
