garlic is to cooking as vanilla extract is to baking in that the amount i add to my food is guided by reckless extravagance and utter disregard, verging on mild contempt, for the recipe as written
@rustlamb Children trying something for the first time is often quaint and twee, I should like to think. They are so enamored by the prospect of achieving their goal they have no sense of self or propriety; overtaken by the joy of the moment. I think we could learn from them.
your relationship with discipline changes so much when you shift doing things from shame to love. from ‘i have to clean’ to realizing i deserve to have a clean home. from ‘i need to work out’ to i deserve to have a healthy body. you deserve to have the best from yourself.
@kvwviiju The fumes from cleaning products are not good for your brain. You're in flight or fight cause your brain in panicking from what it was exposed to.
You stayed clean for 3 weeks. You meditated. You journaled. You felt okay. Then you slipped. Not because you’re weak, but because your neurons hadn’t built enough insulation yet. The wires sparked under stress. Keep repeating. Plasticity takes time.
Despair has been replaced with poetic longing. A wish to experience the breif glimpses of Arcadia. To be drenched in glory and made humble by grace.
Sunkissed warmth on skin carried away wet in wind. The pattern of life indelibly writ in eons and spoken through routine.
