Stoicism for life

[Sathvik Ballal @BallalSathvik]

Oh clouds are you done crying
I want to walk in your tears
And look up until our sorrows meet

@MahimaJalan2 It's never random. Observe the flow of your thoughts and identify the thought that's triggering the anxiety. If you are unable to do this, you need to seek expert help immediately. Do NOT neglect. I would choose cancer anyday over depression. TC

I was taught to swim on the surface
Only later did I realise,
Missed a whole dimension below.
I started diving into the endless depths
Restricted by breathspan.
Each time resurfaced a different me
For the new view was simply unacceptable,
but ignorance of full view hurt even more

You were and are always alone. The sooner you realize and accept this, the sooner you can accept people as they are.

@aneetta_joby_ Die ? Your life would be perfectly encapsulated as a multiple of your journey around the sun.

Be quiet, work hard, and stay healthy. It’s not ambition or skill that is going to set you apart but sanity.
