Yikes

Ive been examining half-scraps of my childhood.They are pieces of distant life that have no form or meaning.They are things that just happened like lint. -Richard Brautigan. Chels. Too old for this.

Oh! If you would only walk into this room again and touch me anywhere I swear I would not long for heaven or for earth more than I’d wish to stay there touched and touching you

I think part of getting better is complete ego death. Like you’re not above setting a timer for 5 minutes and focusing on a task. You’re not above doing a very simple 3 minute workout to start. You’re not above reading for 10 minutes a day when you first get out of your reading slump, even if you used to read for hours. You’re not above starting slow and then building up to where you want to be/where you once were. What you are above is total inertia. Doing something really is better than doing nothing. Radically accept where you are, radically accept your limits, and go from there. Don’t let your ego get in the way.
