Elle O. Vee EeeGrowing up, people would always tell me that I'm weird. Irritating as fuck.
TJاِجْـتِـرار (rumination)
Probably one of the most destructive hidden sides of daydreaming, beside the colorful and pink-glasses view that most texts and people make of it, would be (I argue) the comparison between what you are, what you were, and what you are dreaming to be. An act that is typically stamped as "Rumination"; going over the past all over again and again trying to solve something, something hidden, yet, it's not there, because it is the past and nothing to solve there, but you keep thinking; or maybe I should say, overthinking.
The issue is, at the core, is that you know that it's all gone and can't be fixed, yet, you take some amuse somehow in recalling that broken and fragile Self of the past; maybe somehow and in someway, we can call it a "self-flagellation". Yet, you keep on staring on these broken pieces of yours from the past and try to let them fit together in a hopeless trial to reconstruct, learn, make things better, despite your confirmed acknowledgement that the past will not come back, and it's all gone.
Do yourself a favor, friend. When you find your broken pieces scattered in front of you, just jump over them and keep walking. I'd even say, sweep them under a rug, but probably that would cause you to stare more at these broken pieces of you and your heart for a longer time. So, don't stare, don't touch, just jump over. The puzzle pieces you were hoping to put together to make a picture of you will never fit together, because that someone, and now you are someone else…
Keep on going, my friend…

TAVAloniaConsidering doing more inside exercises today instead of my usual morning walk… but then I just get tired thinking about it… #insomnia is #exhausting.

TiggyI was on a panel at an RE teacher training event this evening. As with singing in choirs I feel nervous when preparing but not even a single flutter once I'm in front of an audience.
After is a different matter, my brain replays bits for hours thinking of all the parts I *should* have done better.

Lavender🔞"What is this"
Watching myself from the window.
What is this?
Supple, stretchy, warm, soft.
Translucent bones?
Pulse, an ever constant rhythm singing to itself, a clock with hands, never able to put my finger on the time that i desire, just linger, for a little longer: 5 more minutes and ill get up.
What are you up, to?
Thumbing my heel, slipping on the shoe that fits, leaving? Got my keys. Lock the door and never open it, stick to your wit, always on red alert... what's this red on my shirt?
What is this?
Spongy, grainy, cold, dark.
I Voted for McGovernI have grown averse to reminiscing, especially with family, actually entirely with family, because I really value my sleep.

Dr M | Positive PsychologyDo you have regrets? They either stem from actions we took that had negative consequences, or actions we didn't take and missed opportunities. Either way, here's what NOT to do with them according to Kathryn Schulz who gave a fabulous TED talk on this topic.
