growth is not about forcing understanding; it is about allowing it to grow organically. - Yung Pueblo

life is not a race to be won but a journey we embark on

feeling emotionally exhausted is common after opening up deeply or after experiencing a series of heightened emotions for an extended period of time. be prepared to take the quiet time and solitude you need to fully rejuventate. you are allowed to not be serious all of the time.

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.
