Re: Loving People
Nurture the relationships with the people who make you feel happy. Put effort into the ones that help you grow, that make you feel good.
Some things other people can’t do:
1) Make you love yourself, when you are struggling to
2) Make you feel less lonely. You don’t feel lonely because you don’t have enough people around, you feel lonely because your architecture is telling you to pay attention to something you haven’t been.
3) Make you feel like your life is going right in comparison to theirs. We are all on our own path. We are hanging from different branches of the tree of life. We all rise at our own pace, climbing and falling and climbing and falling. You need to figure out your own path. Your friends might need to get married, travel the world, become rich, have babies, whatever. Just like your parents can’t tell you how to live your life – they just gave birth to you, gave you your genes in this body and wrote the stories of your childhood experiences. Your real guides are your self and your highest spirit.
So: if you need to be broke, travel the world, perform music, save babies’ lives, have a short Guatemalan compañero, make mistakes, have babies at 33 or whenever, start an integral health community, then that’s just what you have to do. Your happiness has nothing. Nothing. NOTHING to do with your life as compared to other people’s lives. Seguir your own goddamn batería, girl: the rhythm that beats in your chest, that shakes its hips, crashes with the cymbals and thuds the pavement of the streets to make the peoples’ hearts beat fast. You always wanted to, now is your chance.
(YOU ALWAYS HAD IT IN YOU)
