Beyond and 40

I woke up one day in 2019 and I was 41 and wondered to myself, how the fuck did I get here so quick. At 38 years old I was not even studying at what age mid life crisis would hit or anything for that matter.

Light travels faster than the speed of sound; so life must be light, because that shit hits you fast. Everyday since I’ve turned 40 I’ve been contemplating my own mortality, beating myself up with regret and can’t eat a fucking burger without studying is this going to be my last meal.

I need to learn quickly how to silence the mind, because it’s affecting not only me, but the people around me. Labotamy is not an option though sometimes I wish it was.

Heard a yoga instructor say the most important moment is right now, not the future, not the past this very moment. It made all the sense in the world and yet still here I am. Do I need to get so busy it doesn’t matter ? There’s a lot of discussion about men’s emotional volatility; our inability to deal with our emotions to the point of toxicity.

In closing, researchers say that midlife crisis usually ends at 48. I can’t wait that long because there’s going to be no one left, and I’d probably a pile a mountain of regret on by then. I have lots to be thankful, grateful for, I’ve achieved more than a stellar experience in this life, but I’m willing to forget that and the future and deal with this very moment.

PS Anybody knows a good therapist.

the fucking way anne frank is treated as a concept and not a person, not an actual living child who was murdered, but as inspiration and muse for products and corny thoughtpieces makes me so fucking sad, is it that hard to leave alone a child who was killed? to let her rest?

This episode of Orville is disturbing

“It’s so easy to fall in love with things we don’t understand. We try to turn away in frustration, try to close our eyes to the riddle our brain is already desperately trying to solve, but most of the time we’re already lost at that point. We look at a hundred different faces every day, but don’t we get stuck on the ones we can’t figure out right away? Those with sparkling eyes that hold millions of secrets and countless stories, lazy smiles that draw us in, dimples that dig us an even deeper hole to fall into? Don’t we go for the ones we don’t understand at first, the ones that have so many facets, they never fail to surprise us? Aren’t we all fascinated by the unknown? (This is why I fell in love with you.) This is why I fell in love with myself.”

“If the whole universe can be found in our own body and mind, this is where we need to make our inquires. We all have the answers within ourselves, we just have not got in touch with them yet. The potential of finding the truth within requires faith in ourselves.”

— Ayya Khema

“I was not the woman who breaks into pieces under the blows of abandonment and absence, who goes mad, who dies. Only a few fragments had splintered off, for the rest I was well. I was whole, whole I would remain. To those who hurt me, I react giving back in kind. I am the queen of spades, I am the wasp that stings, I am the dark serpent. I am the invulnerable animal who passes through fire and is not burned.”

— Elena Ferrante, from Days of Abandonment (Translated by Ann Goldstein)
