Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and freedom
Viktor Frankl
Existenial Vacuum
A complete lack of purpose or meaningfulness in which anxiety, depression, and addiction may arise
Existentialism
The idea that we are born without a purpose, and our meant to find our own. Existence precedes essence.
If we are dreaming it is a revolving dream sucking us into a malestrom of reality
Anthony Hecht “A Friend Killed in the War”
“I’m going to tell you something: thoughts are never honest. Emotions are. Do not go around asking for honesty in what people think; much of what they perceive as thinking is empty anyway because it’s thought out again and again and comes out refined and muddy. The ones who know how to feel might have to say to you a couple of interesting things or not and when they do that, you ought to know how to listen. So learn how to listen. You can’t make someone open up about their feelings in case they don’t want to. But you can remain open yourself through listening deeply and completely; they might want to talk about the weather and keep it simple — allow them to feel the simplicity…Emotion pours out directly or indirectly each time people engage themselves in the process of genuine interaction.” - Albert Camus
Pale horse, Pale Rider
This fiery motionless particle set itself unaided
to resist destruction, to survive and to be in its own
madness of being, motiveless and planless beyond that
one essential end. Trust me, the hard unwinking angry
point of light said. Trust me. I stay.

Authenticity means living your life with no censorship and no limits. If others judge you - that’s ok, it’s irrelevant to who you are. Those people will fall away the more you live your true purpose. Don’t hide your light any longer.

Feeling is not a weakness, it is not feminine. We are human, all too human.
