everybody give it up for this brand of green. round of applause for most under appreciated green

I don’t want to rush through my life, I want to meander through it, like it’s a long sprawling garden with endless trees and beds of flowers and hidden paths leading to enclosed little meadows to escape into and doze in the sun

Life seems to be moving fast because you live a monotonous reality. You need to escape the trap of the mindless routine before it consumes you. The last thing you want is to blink and realize you’ve lived a good chunk of your life in ways that blended all days together with a complete loss of time. Your life needs excitement, activities, quests, challenges, novelty on a daily basis. Life is not happening in your bedroom, head, or you phone. It is happening outside. Go live it, now.

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.
