there is a theory that depression is the soul’s way of rejecting the life you’re forcing yourself to live. your spirit shuts down when you’re too far from your purpose, people or path.
Life teaches you detachment the hard way. Nothing truly belongs to you. People change, moments pass. Love can be here one day and gone the next. Savor every bit of it while it’s present, but don’t cling too tightly. When things shift, release them. When the energy starts to fade, step back and guard your peace.
you must create because the thing you’d make doesn’t exist anywhere else. nobody has your exact combination of experiences and wounds and obsessions, which means the work only you could make is genuinely irreplaceable. if you don’t make it, it simply never exists. the world just goes without it, never knowing what it missed. that’s the most exciting thing about being you. the thing is waiting and you’re the only door it has.
