I think finding the balance point in life is always hard. We sway back and forth on the pendulum, sometime steadily, sometimes frantically. For me, it's been a life-long quest, and accepting that brings me a lot of piece. The world is always changing. We are always changing. Try and accept the impermanence of all things and follow the dharma as best you can.Posted in: Whatāre You Thinking.
Right now, Iām thinking about the people I started to connect with here. I miss them, even though I know I slipped into my old pattern of pulling back the moment I felt myself letting someone too close, afraid Iād scare them away. I do that, often. Pull away that is.
Yet, time away from here, as usual, has been healing and specifically grounding in ways I didnāt expectā¦Iāve had more space for myselfā¦.more time for me. For jotting down stories and scraps of thoughts, for letting my mind wander without a single ounce of distraction.
And most of all, walking. Yes, walking. It might sound silly but itās healing and getting back to it has woken something in me again. Around 16 to 18k steps a day⦠all before 9am, a stone and a half lighter, my routine finally back in a stable rhythmā¦I feel like my soul is breathing again. Not to mention the excitement in seeing my body changeā¦changing into yet another version of me that I may enjoy even more.
Yet part of me misses the chaos of being here each and every dayā¦.staying up until 1 or 2 a.m., chatting, being turned on, intelligent conversations with sexually stimulating people. laughingā¦. waking up and checking this place first thing to see if those special few had replied. That wasnāt healthy, maybe.
Regardless.
A lot on my mind.
