perhaps this solstice was too much
a regular at art and soul told me that daily affirmations are good for soothing what is ailing the mind. when i told him about my restlessness, my feelings of inadequacy, and my constant need for movement or change he told me that i should get myself a world map.
his prescription calls for hanging the map in my room, standing in front of it everyday, and repeating to myself "this is my home." i have no world map, but today i envisioned one and said "this is my home" a few times to myself and i felt more in love with my life afterwards than i have in the past five days.
i hate self-centeredness, i always want to see myself in the context of how small i really am and yet how powerful i can still become through this humility. i want to see how confident i can be because i know my place and i know that i have settled for nothing. i'm working on it, and getting extremely close sometimes, but this process is going to take even longer than i supposed.
i wonder why i bother after so many trials. if you know what i'm talking about you probably do too. so here's my plea: let's be more patient and kind to each other, please.
