if a woman wants you, it won’t feel like a puzzle you have to solve. you will see it in her actions both in public and private places. the way she expresses her affection will be obvious. a woman in love lowers her walls, that’s the kind of ease rihanna shows with asap rocky.

When a soul is truly ready for freedom, life begins to quietly dismantle itself

When God sees how much the heart longs for truth, illusions begin to show themselves one by one so they can be destroyed

The timing and sequence of this is always perfect beyond all measure. Not all at once, because that might destroy you or obscure the lesson

Not too slowly, because then you’d continue to cling and repeat patterns

Instead, illusions are systematically brought to the surface and shattered, in such a way that they go in not just intellectually, but existentially in the deepest part of you

On the surface, this might seem like devastation, loss, betrayal, heartbreak. But this isn’t punishment, it’s unraveling, purification

Something is destroyed that can never be rebuilt and the heart opens even wider

You may not feel it straight away, but you will later

The one who truly loves freedom quickly recognizes that this is exactly what they asked for — the death of all illusion. The breaking of a vacuum seal so the nature of being can reveal itself

Even during the deepest pain and sorrow you can still be mesmerized by the startling and unfathomable sense of beauty to this unfolding

You can find out truly terrible things and find yourself whispering “perfect” to yourself within your heart

You can be awestruck by the exquisite mechanistic perfection and precision to the sequence

Right in the depth of heartbreak, tears can form in your eyes not from the pain, but because it is so impossibly beautiful that reality hit you exactly there, right in the place most in need of clarity

There’s often a sense of deja vu — because immediately you know why, you know what for, and you recognize that consciousness is orchestrating its own liberation outside of time

The yearning to awaken has surpassed all need even for safety, fairness, love, understanding, reward, and all the other final illusions of the wise yet naive heart

And accordingly, life responded with stunning precision

Every heartbreak, every collapse, every hurt, every devastation, every stuckness, every loyalty unreciprocated, every truth not acknowledged, every effort not rewarded, every subtle expectation that found itself defied by time

Was targeted mercy — fierce grace

Not to burden you, but to release you from the illusion of what you falsely assumed yourself to be

Not to end you, but to release you from bargaining

Not to punish you, but to expose the veil

Not to break you, but to reveal that nothing ever needed defending

You didn’t fail in any way

You just loved freedom so much that it couldn’t help but swallow you whole

The new Spider-Man movie proved to me once again that forced isolation might make you super productive in the short term, but you pay a very heavy price for it. Ultimately, you destroy your own potential.

Even Peter Parker, despite having superpowers as Spider-Man, a clear sense of purpose, and being loved by all of New York City, struggles with being completely on his own. He develops real mental health issues and is driven by his trauma. He feels lost, and the exact same thing happens to so many people without anyone talking about it.

No matter how talented and successful you are in life: if you stay isolated for long enough, the silence will eventually drive you crazy and tear you down. The dangerous part is that you can't really predict when it starts getting bad. For some, it's a week; for others, a month or a year...

The point is, no matter what you're going through, you don't have to face it alone. Be spontaneous, follow your gut. Stop overanalyzing every little thing and measuring everything by productivity, efficiency, or profit and loss. The world isn't black and white, and it certainly isn't made of numbers. It is so much more than that. So get out there and face your fears. Get out there and have fun. Be like Spider-Man.

And btw, the movie was great. I highly recommend it
