lessons learned

Sometimes, leaning into the pain can be the answer.
Resistance can be the problem.

being

do you ever move your muscles beneath your skin
and wonder why others cringe
when inside comes out
that we are not meant to see
some things to remain hidden
for our own health and sanity
yet my curiosity allows me to see beyond
inside
so that i may look without a queasy center
at something of which i am the master
my own body
living

changing time

My eyes are heavy. I can feel them. They tell me that sleep is the answer, but i don't wish to speed up time. That means waking up early again tomorrow all the sooner. If i can keep today a bit longer, I can put off tomorrow. Sleep eats time. We need sleep, it provides us with a small oblivion where we can ignore the realities of life, with whatever problems, troubles, or thoughts that simply cannot be given attention every second of the day. Sometimes we must escape them so as not to go insane. They disappear while we retreat into our own subconscious imaginations to experience a different reality for a while. But while we're ignoring reality, it's busy speeding by without us, going on regardless of whether we're aware of it or not. And when we wake up, we must face that reality. But we always find a way to deal with it. Enjoy oblivion while you can, life will still be there waiting for you whenever you decide it's time to come back.
