life through my own lens.

[Knox @meetKnox]

Creating is my reason for living. The moment I stop, I lose myself.

[Knox @meetKnox]

You come across wonderful people once in while.

BUT there's a catch; you only know they're wonderful because for a long time you've always believed that wonderful people exist and boommm the serendipity happens.

I pray I never lose you and even if we lose touch, I want you to know, you're wonderful.

The amount of distractions in this world is uncanny.

[Knox @meetKnox]

We often lose touch with reality comparing how well others are doing to our own condition. We think we're behind. We think we have no hope.

We forget that these people probably went through hell before getting to where they are.

Instead of comparing, appreciate their efforts, learn from their journey and pray for your own turnaround.

I want to learn the art of detachment.
Not in a depressing way but because every attachment comes with a cost. Your peace, your clarity, sometimes even your identity.

And the people who've truly mastered detachment carry themselves differently. There's a lightness to them.

That's the kind of enlightenment I'm after.

I have finally realized that the self-improvement sold is truly just masturbation.

Be this, be that. Do this, do that. Talk like this, don't talk like that. Sure bud.

We love consuming things that gives us hope. That makes us feel like we can get our lives together. We feel good for a moment, and then it's over. You're still in the same spot.
Because consumption was never action. It just felt like it.

You go to an institution for 5+ years, work at a job you clearly hate, buy things you don't need, listen to everyone on the internet, impress people you don't know and finally you die.

You die with an identity the world gave you. Did you ever live? Even for one day?

[Knox @meetKnox]

I don't know about others but anytime I try to fit in or be like other, I lose myself

[Knox @meetKnox]

Please try to have fun, make time for fun, take life less seriously if you can. This shit can be hard and depressing, don't make it harder on yourself.

[Knox @meetKnox]

We all know this quote:"experience is the best teacher." But experience is only the best teacher if we let it teach us.

A reason we still fall back to the same mistakes even though we've been through it before is because we didn't actually let ourselves learn from it.

We experienced it but refused to actually learn from it. And guess what? learning takes real effort. And that effort is exactly what we refuse to put in.

Know yourself and you've conquered. It's the hardest and easiest thing to do.

Imagine gaining all of that only to end up alone. Feeling worthless because you did everything you thought you needed to do, and it still wasn't enough.

When in truth, you've been deserving of love since the day you came out of your mother's womb.

there's this belief buried deep inside me that i can't date anyone until i've become the absolute best version of myself. first i need the career. then the body. then the confidence. then the life plan. and only after all that, i'm finally allowed to be loved.

Obsession feels like a necessary perk to have but it can be destructive.

I mean, sure, it can drive creativity, passion, and purpose but when obsession gets out of hand, it'll tear you to pieces.

It'll warp your perspective on alot of things and lead to harmful consequences.

The scariest part is the thin line between productive obsession and destructive obsession.

They all feel the same in the moment and by the time you notice the difference, well, it might be too late.

[☆J9☆ @shawn_notsean]

The realisation of how fucking dumb you are after an obssesion ends...like wtf was i even doing?

[Knox @meetKnox]

I love seeing everything as an experience, whether it's tough or easy.

It's like gaining EXP in a game. Every situation adds something.

It's harder than it sounds, but looking at life this way genuinely cleans up the lens you see it through.

Life can be hard and depressing. But I still think there's so much beauty in it.

[Knox @meetKnox]

One of the most underrated skills or you could call it a way of life is; living instead of performing.

Life is so much better and enjoyable when we decide to live instead of perform.

[Knox @meetKnox]

Is life supposed to be easy? Is anything?

Sure, things get easier, but most things aren't easy from the onset.

Going from chronically introverted to having a decent social life is hard (ooh boy, it's hard). And for most people, like it was in my case, figuring out what you want to do with your life might sound like a walk in the park, but it is hard.

But I think that's the whole point. Because if it was easy, everyone would do it.

The fact that it starts hard but gets easier over time is proof that compounded effort actually goes a long way.

Some things will always be harder than others. And honestly? I'm realizing that that's fine.
