quotefeeling:
“As long as you are worried about what others think of you, you are owned by them.”
— Neale Donald Walsch (via thoughtkick)

do you have

any say

in your own choices?

only if you let go

of pleasing everyone else

consider others

but have the courage

to make choices that are best for all

including yourself

quotefeeling:
“Sometimes the people around you won’t understand your journey. They don’t need to. It’s not for them.”
— Joubert Botha

non-attachment

is a journey

few attempt

even fewer

understand

thoughtkick:

“It’s a hell of a responsibility to be yourself. It’s much easier to be somebody else or nobody at all.”

— Sylvia Plath

it’s much more terrifying

than crafting a false persona

a fake personality, a fake person

or persons

culled from popular culture

and your friends

in order to be accepted

but it’s a slow death

on the inside, dying

while still living

just existing

it starts and ends

with owning yourself

your feelings, your experience

no one makes you mad

no one makes you happy

your thoughts lead to your feelings

conscious, acknowledged, or not

change your thinking and

you change your feelings

let your feelings tell you

there’s something to accept

something to understand

something to respond to

rationally, effectively

don’t get in them

don’t chase the rabbits

find the attachment

and sever it, let it go

thoughtkick:

“Other people’s opinion of you does not have to become your reality.”

— Unknown

accept that their opinion

is driven by their perception

which is colored by all

their past experiences

processed or not

and isn’t necessarily

about you at all
