Mischief Managed

Sometimes I can taste the ghost of the colder weathers in the watermelons set on the dining table. I have been stealing my mothers clothes, they are too big on me but they allow the air to pass through. Sometimes I dance in them and I feel like I will fly.

you think that you're so alone in the world then you read literature from hundreds of years ago and you realize that other people have always felt this way

I regulate with pleasure. A long shower, lying in the sun, slow food, touch. My body responds to feeling safe. Pleasure is my nervous system practice. Long meals, beautiful clothes, music that moves me. My body regulates fastest when its delighted. My environment regulates me. A clean kitchen, soft lighting, fresh flowers. My body reads beauty as safety.

Mind control is such a big deal. You truly are what you think about. And people spend their whole lives trying to control what you think about in order to manipulate your identity. That’s what every system of oppression seeks to do–break you down until you are unrecognizable to yourself and you aren’t able to really get a grasp on how magnificent your mind is. People are being tortured, impoverished, misled, imprisoned, distracted, and killed over ideas. Because deep down we know that ideas are powerful and have the potential to infiltrate various barriers throughout this world. Please protect your mind because that is your tool for experiencing and transforming the world around you. Respect your mind by feeding it beauty, compassion, and wisdom. A healthy mind is godlike in utility. Any enemy we could possibly have is already aware of this and is using it against us. Rebuild trust in yourself so that you can get the most out of your miraculous mind. Be tactful, critical, loving with your thoughts because they shape who we are and what we can do. Learn when to defend and to defeat a thought. Come back to your creative power. Come back to your brain which deserves better than the garbage we allow in.

I wish I was taller. I wish I was a baller. I wish my cat had a phone I would call her.

You know what I think is kind of very beautiful? The fact that so many people who struggle with mental health often find themselves drawn to psychology or even philosophy. We take courses, watch lectures and documentaries, read books, ask questions, and spend years trying to understand the very thing that hurts/hurt us. I think there’s something very beautiful about wanting to understand something so ugly, not just so we can make sense of ourselves, but to recognize it in others, not to use it against them, but to make sure no one else has to feel as alone as we once did. I think it’s beautiful how humans often want to pick apart what broke them, not out of bitterness, but out of determination that it can be repaired, to create something from what almost destroyed them, to heal by helping someone else heal too.

I think that is humanity summed up very well: We have the extraordinary habit of refusing to let suffering have the final word.

“You write the beginning and then you go back and rewrite the beginning, and you never got off page one. It’s kind of a syndrome, and I have a rash piece of advice which is — Go on, page two, page three, and never look back. Get something finished, no matter how lousy it is. […] Perfectionists cannot get going unless they kind of do violence to their own instincts, and just blast ahead.”
