i want to start this off by saying i hate the world. not for anything it's ever done to be me (i'm incredibly blessed and incredibly grateful for how the world treats me), but there are people out there who get pushed down again and again and again.... the world is so broken.... and that really hurts me....
but, every so often i am reminded that good people do exist and the world is beautiful. i am reminded what a gift it is to live and be alive.
i think maybe it's important to feel both things; feel everything that is broken and beautiful all at once.

After relapsing today and having a mental breakdown, I have a few things I really want to put out there for anyone who needs to hear it.
1.) If you feel as if something is wrong (i.e. depressive thoughts, feeling of hopelessness, extreme anxiety) please please PLEASE tell someone.
2.) You're not selfish for having these thoughts. You have no control over them, and it's extremely important you find help before you drown.
3.) You never really have yourself figured out. You're always and forever will be, growing as a person spiritually and mentally. Who you are today, won't be the same person you are 5 years from now. It's important to accept change and grow as a person.
4.) We are all souls experiencing life as humans. We're here to find our paths for this life. Every single person, no matter who they are, comes with their own set of struggles and obstacles. Never discredit a person's struggles because "you had it worse."
5.) Division is poisonous. Dividing our population man vs woman, black vs white, Muslim vs Christian, etc., will do nothing but force humanity to take steps backwards. We are all one people. We are all human. Have empathy for your fellow human, and don't be afraid of having a conversation with someone you never would have talked to before. It's how you learn and grow as a person. It's also important if you want to bring about respect and understanding.
6.) Put the phone down every once and a while. Log off of your computer and appreciate nature and life around you as it is while you're still here. Everything can change in a fraction of a second.
7.) The best memories are made face to face, not on a screen. Social media isn't inherently bad, but it hinders your ability to interact with people around you.
8.) Don't be afraid of making mistakes or fail. It's a learning experience for you.
9.) For my audience who are also parents, you can't recreate your childhood for your children no matter how hard you try. The truth is, things aren't how they used to be, and we need to adapt to fit our child's needs. Don't be afraid of technology. That's the world they will grow up in. We need to teach them how to use it responsibly.
10.) Every single person has a life path. We all have our own number, our own constellation, our own PURPOSE. However, we all have a constant for the meaning of life. Love. Love is the answer to life. Spread love wherever you can and to whoever you can. The most change happens through love.
I know life feels out of our control, but we, in fact, ARE in control. Don't be afraid to change what needs to be changed. Don't be afraid to be alone with yourself. Everything happens for a reason and we are here in this life to grow ourselves into who we need to be. Despite your setbacks. Despite your trauma. Despite your mental illnesses. They don't define who you are. YOU do. There is a lack of kindness in this world today. A lack of love. Don't contribute to any of it. It'll only leave you burned and broken.

If you persevere, in time you will have an entirely different problem – not that life is meaningless, but rather that life has almost too much meaning. As the scales fall from your eyes the world rushes into focus, presenting itself with a kind of vibrational eloquence that can, at first, be almost overwhelming. Everything shimmers, everything clarifies, everything wrestles for your attention. Trees feel super-real, their roots plunged into the earth, their branches stretching to the sky, birds are flesh and blood souls, fragile with life, the sky unfolds and rolls, the ocean crashes, people fascinate, books are beautiful, children are whirling dynamos of chaos, dogs bark and cats meow, flowers shout, your neighbour glows, and God runs like a helix through all things. The world awaits you, humming with meaning. You are alive with potential. You are not dead.

You say the ocean’s rising, like I give a shit. You say the whole world’s ending, honey, it already did.

I still have so many thoughts about iterator puppets, A God with a body the size of a country With thousands and thousands eyes watching represented through nothing but a little doll. Imagine how an iterator would feel. You are impossibly large, it would take years for a regular organism to think what you do in a millisecond. Everything is nothing but a speck in comparison to you. Yet the only physical body you're supposed to attach to is a little clump of fabric and metal, smaller than a millionth of your body, it could never show the thoughts you experience and neither does your parents language. However, it is the only physical vessel your creators left you, a god represented by a toy.
Perhaps it's no surprise that even before the global ascension, the iterators hated their creators.
