“Everything you do right now ripples outward and affects everyone. Your posture can shine your heart or transmit anxiety. Your breath can radiate love or muddy the room in depression. Your glance can awaken joy. Your words can inspire freedom. Your every act can open hearts and minds.”
— David Deida
it's sad to think about the fact that you want to do, learn, or achieve a lot, but you have no motivation to do anything at all.

i don't want to get to the point where i will be drained because of the career.
I'm chronically ill. I'm disabled physically and mentally. I live a rough life from day to day. People always tell me how strong I am.
This may be with the best of intentions but in all honesty I'm not strong, I'm very weak from being broken down every single second of my life from my chronic illnesses.
I don't get to live my life, I'm surviving not thriving.

nights come devoid of the expanse of your silhouette: only the gnawing
winds
that reproach my bones what good is hope before remorse: when you hacked
your tresses before
my lips
could reach your
nape: with our perse detritus scattered i keep you as a divine shrapnel buried
deep in my pith
inferno: oblivious to your momentum swirling with a taste of non-existence
of
reticence
and you said:
there's no reason to obsess over fiery delights as the remoteness of memory
creeps like
bougainville
somewhere the sky is burning with your chrysanthemums and somewhere
it falls
through
my bones without you: without the taste of your tongue: the first light
won't ever make it here
before your urgencies consume
me and
everything that i will ever
touch
