“Love didn’t hurt you. Someone who doesn’t know how to love you hurt you. Don’t confuse the two.”

understand

that you chose

your torturer

your attacker

you didn’t know

what you didn’t know

but their issues

aren’t everyone’s issues

let each person

show you who they are

without hanging your past on them

Bill Murray on being present:

“Just try to feel your own weight, in your own seat, in your own feet. Okay? So if you can feel that weight in your body, if you can come back into the most personal identification, a very personal identification, which is: I am. This is me now. Here I am, right now. This is me now. Then you don’t feel like you have to leave, and be over there, or look over there. You don’t feel like you have to rush off and be somewhere.”

Aging Gracefully

when you lose your center

when you’re in your feelings

when you’re chasing the rabbits

when you’re beside yourself

when you’re in your head

breathe

in through your nose

for five seconds

out through your mouth

for five seconds

over and over

re-read this blog

re-center

re-ground

get out of your head

and into your body

and connect with physical reality

as quickly as possible

Other people don’t get to treat you badly just because they’re suffering and you don’t get to treat other people badly just because you’re suffering. We all have a responsibility not to take our pain out on others, no matter how hard what we’re going through is.

we justify

our own toxicity

when we get

in our feelings

understand your feelings

trace the thoughts

that led to them

but do not trust them

to take you

anywhere good
