But I am so deeply lost in my own soul, how can I expect anyone else to understand me?

“everyone is going to hate it” someone will love it. someone will reach out to you and tell you it changed their life. someone will hold it close and treasure it forever in a way you can’t even understand. keep going

Empty everything out;

hold fast to your stillness.

My value

Does not come from how much i’m loved

How much I’m feared

How much I’m respected

How much I’m wanted

How much I’m needed

My value

Comes from me

Always

[expresstina]

Regardless

It is definitely a reasonable fear to have

My value though

Does not come from how much I’m desired by men

My value

Will always be intrinsic

And always be determined by me

On the inside

Only from the inner

别抓任何东西

都是抓不住的

特别是人

Second day of moving back home

And immediately remembered why I wanted to move

My mom.

It’s always about her.

Her needs, her tiredness, her desires, her situations, her fears, her results, her goals, her. Doing things on her terms.

She never asked me about, my fears, my happiness, my situation, my results, my goals, my needs, my wants.

Even IF WE DO have a discussion about MY situation, needs, wants, desires. IT WILL NEVER GO THROUGH BECAUSE SHE ASSUMES THAT I DONT KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT THE WORD, LIFE, PEOPLE, EVERYTHING.
