Hi!! I’m looking for podcast guests or to be on someone’s podcast!! I’m a young adult that has just made my own podcast where I talk about my mental health struggles and others :)

i think i tend to forget how good boredom is for creativity because we're all so addicted to numbing ourselves with screens and stimulation. but standing in the shower or going for a walk with no music or just sitting in your bedroom without being allowed to touch any screens & all of a sudden i have multiple new projects to start, a solution to a months-long plot problem & 4 new original characters

An Interview with Richard Siken

what keeps you awake at night and gets you out of bed in the morning? what rushes you out of the door, or out of the shower, or home at the end of the day? what passion drives you in those moments when passion is all you have left to keep you moving forward? what is it that makes you live, makes you alive?

This is such a beautifully worded question. Thank you, I’d be happy to answer this.

What keeps me awake at night is the possibilities of the universe. My OCD, my desire to know what the next day will bring. Lots of love, lots of excitement, and lots of wandering inside of my mind. Worry. Lots of worry. Most happiness but the worry runs deep. I always go to bed happy though. Always pull things around.

What rushes me out of the door, out of the shower, and at home at the end of day is… nothing really. I’m blessed to do lots of things lately that I love. My days are occupied and very lovely. So, usually I just prepare myself. Tell myself I don’t need to rush. Patience is a gift. I used to rush often, now it’s more of a rush of excitement for adventure.

What passion drives me is always and always will be myself. If we can all be the best version of ourselves, we can help others to our fullest potential and bring out their truth. Happiness drives me. Helping drives me.

What passion drives me when I have no passion left is nature. I go outside and I remember that I’m alive. Usually, I just need to go outside and my problems are solved. The Universe and nature will take care of it. That’s what I like to remind myself of.

As for what makes me feel alive, the Universe in all of it’s glory does. Praying to the Gods I believe in, God, Aphrodite specifically, speaking with the Universe and Tarot especially.

So? All in all, I’d say love.

Love for me, love for life, and love for new beginnings.

I just had the most wonderful cup of tea today and I feel very grateful for it. This might seem dramatic— but it was incredible, world changing, really.

I think it is mandatory, especially in the morning, to be quiet

I emerge from dirt and mirth. I come to you raw and tethered and I ask you to listen.

I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed.

2 Timothy 1:12

[omnipotentley]

You are worth it. You matter. Even on your worst days, remember that another happy moment will eventually come. They always do. You say you’ve “failed” you say you’ve “lost.” Therefore, despite it all, you must say “So I will win and I will gain for the sake of the unfulfilled me.” Redemption. Justice. Happiness.

This kind of rebirth, egoless transcendence, is an identification not with individual forms of self, but with the larger, impersonal "Self" of the universe. Not only the false self, but the mythic true self as well (insofar as its selfhood is a limitation or barrier) are transcended. The line between these two kinds of rebirth—egoless transcendence (an identification of the self with the eternal, without limitation) and the more literal (mythic) rebirth (an identification of the self with a timeless mythic order, though with limitation)—is not a firm one. Either form could believably be imagined as resulting from a confrontation with death.

I think we desperately need to return to analog culture and slow life. Handwritten letters, seeing movies in the cinema, taking pictures and frame them or put them into physical photo albums, reading physical books, in-person visits and interacting, and time spent outdoors. Our lives weren’t meant to be entirely online. The simple joys of tangible living are irreplaceable and can never be taken away from us. No screen can replicate the weight of a book in your hands, the smell of it, the warmth of someone’s voice without lag, or the way time slows when you’re fully present. Memories feel different when they’re not curated for an audience. The most meaningful moments were never meant to be documented; they were meant to be fully lived.

Being unhappy with your situation right now does not make you ungrateful for everything you have. You are allowed to strive for more, to want something different, to explore another direction. It is ok to crave change. It is ok to want something you have wanted for a very long time. It does not mean that you do not appreciate your life as it is. These two things can coexist - you can be very grateful with your life and still want something to change. It is never just black and white. Please do not be so hard on yourself, my love. You are working very hard and you do not need the pressure of having to be grateful and happy all the time. You are human. You are allowed to feel sad and lost. And you will find the life you are hoping for. I promise.

If you have trauma related OCD and or suffer with intrusive thoughts due to trauma,

I’ve been using this mantra that I thought I’d share: “This is my trauma, not my truth.”

It has been really helpful!

I’d say that this fits with ACT therapy, although therapy types of course tend to overlap. (Acceptance and commitment therapy.)
