Plainness

I wake every morning with a feeling of— plainness.

In a way, I have begun to welcome this feeling with open arms.

However, before I grew accompanied by this feeling, I would wake with a feeling of dread, and despair in my chest, in my eyes.

Now, I am beginning to find comfort in the nothingness of this plain feeling. When before I used to do everything in my power to subside that.

Putting my head in the clouds and wasting my time away with easy pleasures and readily available dopamine.

But when I look back on the years I wasted away, I am glad I experienced them.

I do not feel regret, I feel shame.

I will not live in regret, but I will learn and grow from my shame.

Without shame, we do not grow, we do not learn.

Our past is the guide for what is to come. Do not forget it, and just the same, do not dwell on it.

Never forget, this has all happened before.

You are not special, no one is.

Do your best to find your logos and strive to create.

Love is the answer, and peace is a part of this.

Inner peace and the peace you bring around your soul.
