“To think about childhood gave her a funny, queasy feeling, because it had been real life once and now it was something else. The old people had died, the babies had grown old.”
- Sally Rooney, Beautiful World Where Are You
To openly yearn for community without putting in effort is astounding. To complain about the clutch social media has on people without putting your phone down and getting out there is astounding.
To scapegoat, in many cases, is to refuse to accept disorder as a fact of life. When we believe it’s in our power to solve basically any problem, we inadvertently dedicate our lives to it.
When I accept there is no choice I could make that would shield me from occasional bouts of doubt, loneliness, depression, and even self-loathing, I’m free from the burden of plotting my escape.
When you’re a hammer, everything looks like a nail. When you think consistency, simplicity, or happiness are the goal, reality looks like a problem that needs constant tending. But what if it’s natural, or even necessary, to dislike yourself or life or life circumstances sometimes—to fail to understand them, to find them inconceivable or tiresome?
... See moreI’m experiencing what this is right now with a knowing that no matter what, I will put lotion on my body. I will dance alone in my room. I will rid myself of toxic intrusions. I will wrap myself in rituals. I will speak my needs as they come, even as that voice in my head says I’m crazy. I will turn on the big light. - anna
