I don't like pain. I've spent much of my life trying to avoid pain, reduce pain, mitigate pain. Many hours have been wasted on efforts to distract, ignore, escape, and numb. But lately I'm accepting that it can't be avoided. Pain will always be with me—us—in one form or another. Loss, grief, wounds from family, betrayal by friends, sickness, misunderstanding, the whole world one great glorious minefield for pain. And pain is also often an indicator, a teacher, a directional arrow. (Not always. Sometimes it is a terrible guide.) But I ignore its lessons at my peril! So. How then do I live so as not to be crushed? Perhaps: us. We're going to hurt, so let us hurt in community. Not to swim in the muck of self-pity, wallowing as perpetual victims unable to escape the morass of circumstance, but as co-sufferers whose companionship gives hope. We lament together and hurt together and its really awful but then I dry your tears and you dry mine and there's strength in your eyes and in my words and we dust off and link arms and stumble forward.

pain always fades away

just think of other situations from the past (maybe other breakups), back then it hurt, but now you're ok with it. it'll be the same this time

OAT MEALS FOR BREAKFAST

I’m not sure why I thought I hated it. I’m sorry Mr oats, you’re actually a real one. So healthy, so filling, and very easy to make. High in protein for that quality energy. Attached an empty bowl that used to have oats.

GOING GREYSCALE ON YOUR DEVICES

It helps me keep my phone usage to a minimum while focusing (at uni or tedious tasks). It’s like muting your tv. When I do have to use it, it’s just way less stimulating. And my time on there is absolutely for essential stuff, without having to remind myself so. I’ve set a shortcut on my iPhone as 3x power button clicks. Boom! greyscale. It kinda works as a physical reminder to focus as well.
