i’m very self aware. which unfortunately hasn’t solved anything
How it's been going

"He who asks for humility from God, but does not accept the person God sends him to humble him, does not know what he is asking for, because virtues are not bought by shopping at the grocery store, but God sends us people to test us, to work, to acquire it and to be crowned.”

refusal to participate due to self consciousness is actually more embarrassing than participating. it took me a very long time to figure that out. abject fear of embarrassment is actually causing you to do things that are more embarrassing than what you fear. you are gonna be embarrassed anyway. let go and be free
For all its flaws, one thing that I appreciate about Tumblr’s interface is that it by default takes you to your follower feed before it takes you to the for you page 🫶🏾 that’s why I think Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook have become so unbearable for me lately
It feels so incredible when the person who has literally seen you at your worst, literally on the floor, screaming at them, crying your eyes out, lived with you in your drunk phase, asexual sloth phase, etcetera looks at you over dinner and says you’re just like a really beautiful person. I think that love really does make things new all the time. It’s so regenerative and freeing. I am very grateful for that
if nobody minds i might read about animals on the computer
The grandeur of life is the attempt, not the solution. It's about being as fearless as one can and behaving as beautifully as one can under completely impossible circumstances. Good is more interesting, more complex, more demanding. Evil is silly. It may be horrible, but it is not a compelling idea. The opposite survival, blossoming, endurance, those things are more compelling intellectually, if not spiritually, which they certainly are also. We are already born. We are going to die. So in between, you have to do something interesting that you respect.
