So far, this year has been a long string of epiphanies about myself and my personal spheres. Turning my critical eye inward has allowed me to see the inner-workings of the self, and I've only touched the surface. it's powerful stuff.
I'm reading a book by Pema Chodron, which has done wonders for me. It's a pretty rad philosophy, this Buddhism, ripe with metaphor, riddles, and wisdom.
also: I read in Rue's horoscope, from Rob Brezny: "I know certain people who are amazing creators and leaders but don't have the personal integrity or relationship skills that would make them trustworthy enough to seek out as close allies. Their beauty is best appreciated from afar..."
And it clicked. I am one of those people, this is why the closer I get to people the farther they get from me. My loneliness was given something of an explanation, and I was thus gratified.
so I've been meditating on this.
also also: in a similar vein, I've made a new correspondence with woman I met online. I'm pleased.
