Be Enticed

I care not only to draw you in

Reality happens, in all its splendor and duress.

Sometimes, it’s for us to fill the void.

Other moments are quite energetically oversaturated and all you can do is find, maybe create, your own silence.

Dark energy, light energy— it’s all the same shit.

Intention makes the initial difference.

Learn to dance with your emotions; focus on where you shine brightest, and— fuck it, you’re permitted to ignore your flaws now and then, for as in business and in life, you will improve with time and care.

So, advancing?

Focus on your strengths.

Innumerous neural connections forming from birth to death, cells yearning for reason to remain—

Cut out the sugar, witness the transformation, the insurmountable beauty of your mind.

I love sweets.

I also don’t give a fuck.

Usually.

Who will judge first?

HA!

You must.

Serious talk, all.

You don’t have to appreciate yourself, but don’t even think twice about disrespecting that WONDER of biological engineering which is your brain and body.

I understand my temple has been desecrated — by me — many times; my imperfection can’t prevent the truth.

My facts are sound.

The report is yours; I’m but a messenger.

November 12th, 2022 UPDATE--
Please, appreciate yourself;
it’ll actually go a long way
in your self-development
journey.

And if it’s redundant to declare each the brain and body, seeing as they are one, then perhaps I could summarize them best as simply ‘the body’. But then, what of the mind’s overwhelming impact, perhaps greater in its singularity than any other organ’s?

Hearts beat; lungs breathe; stomachs stomach.

Your mind is vastly more interesting and unique. And it connects to everything!

All organs are one with the brain; the body and mind are united.

An inseparable unit.

The main point today has been on the importance of having some shred of emotional control to get through life for the better of yourself and those you love.

This has long been one of my greatest weaknesses.

I still have my off days.

If you recognize any value in my words, then please, hold them closely to heart. Agree or disagree? I’d be happy to read about it in the comments, and I often enjoy responding.

Believing in you,
