The Dark One♏️

“They didn’t teach you in school to leave your work and go to the window five minutes to let the sun warm your soft skin; they didn’t teach you to pause. They taught you to bottle up your emotions, they didn’t teach you to go to your friend and talk five minutes when you felt sad, so your cotton heart could light up again and go back to your work free of mental burdens. They didn’t teach you to go to an open window and listen to five minutes the musicality of birds or the hysterical screams of playing kids, or watch the trees wave at you so you could feel connected to a wider realm where your energy was welcome. And now you feel guilty when you can’t immediately achieve your work because you couldn’t see that the powerful wind often stops as well before it starts again, you don’t know how to recharge your batteries merely by feeling the sun biting your skin, you lost touch with the pacifying noises of the whole world keeping its activities while you spend your time worrying that you might fail. You are not broken; you are mistaken, and you must start again to allow yourself to give to your natural needs and rhythms an unshakable voice. You must care enough about it: it comes first and anything else follows. We are sentient beings.”

“The only way to handle danger is to face it. If you start getting frightened of it then you make it worse because you project onto it all kinds of bogies and threats which don’t exist in it at all.

Whenever you meet a ghost, don’t run away. Because the ghost will capture the substance of your fear and materialise itself out of your own substance. It will kill you eventually because it will take over all your own vitality.

So, then, whenever confronted with a ghost walk straight into it. And it will disappear.”

— Alan Watts

Nothing fits into their molds anymore. Everything has a different place of different importance. Life is changing in front of me and I’m still not scared. Just insecurities riddled inside my head, whispering me to jump.

“First admit that you are unhappy. Then admit why. Then understand you need to let go. Allow yourself a moment. Breathe in the moment deeply. Then the healing will begin.”
