As you become less of a mystery to yourself, you can start to look at other people with a greater sense of clarity and compassion. - Yung Pueblo

we never wanted to argue, but it kept happening because that is what hearts do when they are overflowing with old pain

i am not fully healed
i am not fully wise
i am still on my way
what matters is that
i am still moving forward

heaviness comes from hanging on tightly to emotions that were always meant to be ephemeral. it is not easy to let go, especially when all we know is attachment. we want things to last forever and we turn difficult moments into long-lasting pain simply because we have not learned to let go. we have not learned that the beauty of living comes from the movement of change. letting go does not mean that we forget, and it does not mean that we give up. it just means that we are not letting our present happiness be determined by things that happened in the past or by things we wish to happen in the future.
