Sheesh this hit me in the way only truth can - deep, quiet, and undeniable. The weight of existence, the exhaustion of carrying what we never asked to hold, the ripples we don’t always see but still create... I feel all of it. Thank you for putting words to something so many of us feel but rarely say out loud 😊
I’ve felt so frantic lately…to do SOMETHING, but every something I do feels too small. and even though I know better, I have to admit, I’ve been running myself ragged chasing that lure of success, even though I know it’s just a stuffed animal and will do nothing to satiate my hunger.
Am I just afraid to slow down because a moving target is harder to hit? or because I’m afraid all my anxieties will catch me and swallow me whole? I don’t know.
But in reading this, I did slow down. And I needed that. I can feel it in my body, how much I needed it.
Sounds like you need to STOP chasing and realize THERE IS NOTHING ELSE… YOU CANNOT FORCE ANYTHING! You simply have to see what’s really there and accept that’s it… THERE IS NO FINISH LINE… There is NO destination.
There isn’t EVEN A JOURNEY!!!
There is ONLY THE HERE AND NOW… FOREVER!
The issue is you wish things to be different than they are… AND THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE!
What you seek is an ILLUSION, and you ADMIT TO KNOWING IT… but still DON’T believe it!
Stop chasing what is NOT, never WAS or ever WILL be, or even COULD BE!
The NOW IS ALL WE HAVE, not in some spirituality bullshit way… but in a REAL FACT OF THE MATTER WAY!

Beautifully written as always. Thank you.
