Rejection isn’t meant to harm you. It is meant to arm you with the knowledge you need to move on to your destiny.

The Holy Instant: I Am That

theremustbeabetterway:

“Once you realize that all comes from within, that the world in which you live has not been projected onto you but by you, your fear comes to an end. Without this realization you identify yourself with the externals, like the body, mind, society, nation, humanity, even God or the Absolute. But…

It’s a hard lesson to swallow.

Spring Post- Obsessive and Addictive Personality

        I realize that obsession and addiction are two different things. Before I used to think they were interchangeable. I would say to people that I had an addictive personality when in fact I had an obsessive personality. I would say that I have a compulsive personality as well, but that has toned down over the years with the help of therapy and medicine.  Having this insight will be helpful, I just don’t know how.

Spring Post-Facebook

         I activated my facebook then I deactivated it again. It’s difficult for me to stay on facebook for a long time. I have a healthier relationship with myself and other people without the social network. In addition I have a better self concept. I’m naturally competitive and get resentful of people who I perceive is ‘ahead’ in life than I am. In reality no one is truly ‘ahead’ or ‘behind’. We all die. That’s something I have to remind myself. Being off facebook has curbed my temptation to look at my exes’ profiles. As much as I wonder about them, I don’t think it’s healthy for me to dwell on them. For the most part I’ve moved on, but the past should be left in the past.

Spring Post-Wet Wreckless/Greatest/Worst

        Being arrested for a dui (which  was reduced to a wet wreckless) is probably the worst and best thing that could happen to me. For one, I have reduced my pity parties.

Spring Post-Community Service

          A wet wreckless isn’t so bad. At least the nightmare is gradually coming to an end.

^^ Doing well, Sista Sammmmmmmm?

of course!

Spring Post-The Last Word

       In the grand scheme of things having the last word during an argument or break up of any kind doesn’t really manner. It may seem like it manners during the time, but it doesn’t. Who cares who did what or what happened. Things break down in their own manner and likely for the best. Why would I waste my time going after someone who doesn’t like me and is miserable around me? I still do that, but not as much as before. Lately it has decreased because I simply am indifferent to people I’ve had strife with. Also, my companions lately have been books rather than people. So there isn’t really much for me to have strife with.
