Picture this: You're a beam of light arcing across the universe. Suddenly you become tangled in a soft three dimensional web of tunnels. You travel the same pathways seeking escape only to find your own self as you loop repeatedly. You begin to feel weight. You're alive. Fuck.

If you have enough curiosity you won’t need as much discipline.

To have proper conversations across world-views you need both (1) insane intellectual sharpness and (2) insane emotional empathy. This is why ~ no one has them and when 2 people find they can have them they can't let go of one another. The 2x2 has a basically empty quadrant

As a straight man who cares about not being creepy, I always notice that I get much more frequent and sustained eye contact from women in southern Europe than other places I've spent time (like US, UK, NZ).

one time i shut myself in my room and listened to linkin park while crying because a girl told me she wouldn't be able to go to with me to the 2005 nickelodeon's kids choice awards if i were to hypothetically win tickets in a sweepstakes i saw in a commercial but never entered

Your trauma creates you.

Neither of these works very well. The way to 'get enough' is to heal the wound of separation, reconnect to Primordial Wholeness, and dissolve the deeply internalized belief that you are not enough.
