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