the point of being alive

[𐌁𐌉Ᏽ 𐌕𐌉𐌌𐌉 @OrevaZSN]

You’re standing on a planet with molten lava at its core. Trees are turning sunlight into air you can breathe. Your heart is beating without you asking it to. There’s a moon in the sky and bugs that glow. This whole thing is absurdly beautiful. Don’t forget to notice it.

[velvet @o_Orrringo]

[velvet @o_Orrringo]

[velvet @o_Orrringo]

I was quite bad at this for ppl and social situations until maybe my 20s. The secret to developing it is not magic.

First, you have to deeply want it. Most people don’t because then you start seeing uncomfortable things – eg how ppl are flawed, how they’re rejecting you, etc.

Second, practice: you give intimate, uncompromising attention to every social situation

Third, mentorship: doesn’t need to be formal. Just spend ample time around someone who already has The Sight & ask them about what they’re noticing

How does C. S. Lewis do that, every paragraph is a book

Things that actually changed how i think and feel:

- spent time with old people who are not afraid to die
- lifted heavy things repeatedly for years, until my body started teaching my mind
- learned another language just to feel stupid again
- treated sleep like it's sacred, because it is
- read history, not philosophy. history is philosophy with the blood left in
- read scripture, not for belief, but because the words rewrite your nervous system

[🕊️ @lichthauch]

There is a three year old somewhere right now squatting in a cold puddle with mud up his forearms and snot running into his mouth, screaming at nothing. he will bite his sister in twenty minutes and cry for an hour after because she bit him back. he will lose his favourite toy in some wet grass and grieve it like a death. by nighttime he will have lived more honestly than most grown men manage in thirty years. and somewhere in a clean room with expensive candles and a view of some mountain, a grown adult who paid four thousand to sit on a cushion for a week is begging his own nervous system to produce what that kid got for free by falling face first into a thorn bush

[blue @bluewmist]

I don't know who needs to hear this but someone recently told me "no amount of waiting will make you more brave, and no amount of worrying will make it more safe." And honestly I think about this everyday.

[velvet @o_Orrringo]

i can only hope that my lack of response to not be taken as if i was not suffering

[velvet @o_Orrringo]

all my life is made up of ill timed happenstances

[Helen @anomalie_blue]

People who do deep work that requires a lot of brain power often have a very endearing unarmoured shyness to them, and are often pleasantly taken by surprise by many things.

It is an inevitable consequence of a mind trained to notice details.

People not attuned to it will confuse it for naïvite and will be upset by your clear expressions of discontent when a boundary is crossed since they assume you’re just easy to manipulate.

[cee @1ovesickkk]

and even if we never talk again please remember that i am forever changed by who you are and what you meant to me

[Fani @fuqrachin]

Reading extensively will probably bloat your vocabulary a lot, but articulation cannot (only) come from consistent exposure to difficult works. If you want to be articulate, you must also think and structure your thoughts uniformly
