idk dude... i dont feel like i belong on this world, ive never done any harm to anyone, i was always respectful, doing the right things, but i always ended up being hurt instead. i dont want to spend my life rotting away in a 8 to 4 job just to survive and spend the money to "buy" temporary fun/joy like everyone else... im a thinker, i think all the time, i dislike the situation in the world and in my country, i just wish we all decided to have peace and to allow everyone to be an equal, i wish we could all just be friends naturally... anyway, i lost the plot, i dont know where i was going, but life is tough, i feel like im just letting the days pass by, whatever i tried so far hasnt worked and its just depressing knowing i cant change anything, i did however make changes in myself and i now notice certain negative patterns that help me cope, i also lost some weight and became fit, so there's that i guess... anyway, im sure someone will find this helpful, so please keep it up!

Purpose is a funny term. I grew up in fishing village with clear distinction of hobby and work. Having enough free time to write or create is a first world issue. If you stay busy you are generally happy. Idle people tend to have inner turmoil.

I firmly believe most problems in our modern world come from the fact that we're so safe and at ease that we have to invent something to be challenged by. I agree, idle hands make messy work.

This was exactly what I needed to hear, without realizing it. I considered myself an artist for so many years; that's all I've done since I was a toddler, and it really fits with that romanticized vision of an artist. Someone who's been honing their craft since they were a child as though it's in their blood or something... but after struggling with art block and finding myself more pulled towards writing, I've felt a major sense of identity crisis. When in reality, all I want to do is tell stories. It doesn't matter how. I just want to tell stories that touch people's emotions in a way that makes them stop and experience something raw and real even for just a moment. Thank you for your video <3

Of course, I agree. We're always evolving as we grow and learn. Trying to stick ourselves to one thing without critiquing if it's still benefiting us and adapting it as needed I think in large part is the root of this problem

More to come on this soon, but imagine for now you're always trying to control your fate, versus approaching it with an attitude of being open and decisive about what's right for you, with high standards around what you won't accept. That's not control, that's sovereignty. When we get THERE, we can surrender to what the Tao Te Ching calls The Flow. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qIDRiayKfs2dm7ssi=0HduOVTvLBqpYmDm

I have 2! My poetry book, which is the one that's almost finished, is about the cyclical cycle of life. It's a 10 year long collection of poetry about rebirth & rediscovery 🌷 My other book is a crazy fantasy I'm 120,000 words into, so CLOSE but not quite done the first draft. That one goes like this: After the Autumn Princess breaks her people's most important treaty, the royal family must campaign across the realm to answer for her crimes at the Citadel. But along the way, a dormant magic begins to awaken that threatens her family's throne & puts all of their lives at stake. Do you have any bookish projects? ☺

Nice video. You like the reality as it is which is why you're OK with not knowing your past. For me the opposite is true. I don't like the laws of nature and wonder if God (if it exists) when he created the universe if he had a choice to create it differently. But since it's impossible for me to analyze God I could analyze myself and for this I'd need to know my past. Suppose I have a soul and a past, if I knew my past I could make an intelligent conclusion of what I'm actually evolving/devolving into, a conclusion of what God is driving us from and into, and hopefully understand his reasoning behind this iteration of the universe. If that would ever come true I could gauge if a different, better universe with different laws of nature is possible at all because the current one is horrible. Which is why I like cannabis, it dissolves my ego and gives me false memories of my (possibly non-existing) past which is the best I can do for now. Which is why I feel like a stranger with amnesia to myself. I'm aware of it and would like to heal it, which among other things would probably mean breaking my life cycle(s), whatever that may mean.
@emmavangrieken
@emmavangrieken 11 ай бұрын
I'd suggest that getting to know yourself is part of the journey of getting to know God. Trying to understand the universe is like trying to put a square peg in a round hole. It's like Alan Watts says. At the end of the day, we're looking at atoms with a microscope made of atoms. There's only so much we can guess at. Beyond the present moment, I thinking knowing your past and accepting it is absolutely crucial for moving forward in healthy thriving waya

I have this recurring dream. I see a calendar, February 24, 2024. Ukraine has defeated the Russians. Desantis is president. I see all the world leaders, they are signing a peace treaty, The Unified Global Partnership. A wind blows the calendar ahead, March 5, 2024. There are giant fireballs over the oceans, the head of the statue of liberty is laying sideways on the side of a mountain, New York is gone, the Hoover dam, the Seattle Space Needle are washed away by the great tsunamis. There are giant fireballs over the land. Not on the land, over the land. Strong winds and fire are rushing across the lands, so hot the forest have burned, the Eiffel Tower has melted. The German Arch in Berlin, the leaning tower of Piza, Mt Rushmore, the pyramids in Egypt and Peru, the Great Wall, all are blown apart and falling. The ice is melting. Everything is ash. The sun goes dim, it becomes night, always night. Then the cold comes. People come from underground, trying to find water and food. There is nothing left. The air and water are full of ash. There is hardly anyone left. The land isn't the same, the continents aren't shaped the same. I see the leaders saying, "We must not make the same mistakes, again." They are proclaiming to be the gods. Here is your shelter, your food and drink. You don't need and you are happy. I see people being rounded up to separate those who openly remember, or know about the past. I shudder when Ukraine declares advancements, as the election nominees are announced, as the date, 2/24/2024, approaches. I hope it is just a dream.
