life in general

1. We need to learn how to trust and how to keep getting trust back. We need to learn how to be able to trust everyone again.


2. To love a person unconditionally is possible. You need to learn to accept things—and it’s harder to do than to say, definitely, but you need to learn that. There is a difference to being someone’s doormat and maintaining the smallest amount of dignity, but you can love someone continually and care for them the rest of your life—even if they hurt you (sometimes, in the end, insert appropriate situation).


3. There’s a kind of longing that is so much that it physically hurts, and I don’t know if it’s all right to express this longing by words or saying it to the person you miss, but I do know that it exists.


4. Being calm is never easy. You force yourself to slow down, but when you do you realize how different the perspective is.


5. Is the search for enlightenment and peace futile? If we keep actively searching for it, will it keep eluding us? Right now I feel that we should learn to wait for it to come to us, and understand ourselves first before doing anything.
