Follow where energy takes you. Find the path of the least resistance.

I wish I could sing like this. I’ll practice to see if I can.

the suffering never ends

by Yulya Lapteva

My favorite part of the Song of Achilles:

Achilles: How could Heracles not recognize his wife?

Chiron: That is the nature of madness.

Patroclus’ inner monologue: Sounds like a skill issue. Couldn’t be me. Truly pathetic to be honest. Personally, I would recognize Achilles in the dark, or in disguise. I would know him even in madness. But that’s just me I guess.

Weekly reminders

You are loved

You are going your best, and even if you don't think so, you are good enough just by existing

You are valuable, no matter what

Your emotions are valid but they aren't facts

You can do the thing you have been dreading to do, focus on how relieved you will feel after doing it

Focus on doing things to make yourself feel better, however small they might seem

You don't have to do everything you envisioned for the week; if you are too tired, rest before trying to finish your to do list

You don't have to perform to others while you do tasks at work, or at school, or while socializing with people; it's okay to show up as you are, be authentic and not try to impress everyone all time

Have a lovely week!
