We resist change and mourn the passing of time, but it is precisely because things change that we can experience life, love, & everything that we want to hold on to. There is no freeze frame for this moment.
Meditation doesn’t stop change or make the moment last forever. Mindfulness watches the water run over the rocks, feels the breath move through our lungs, and knows that we are just part of the process unfolding.

It’s 4pm and I feel like shit. I’m in some new trouble all over again and I can’t stop worrying and I haven’t accomplished anything productive and I’ve been listening to sad songs all day. Feels like some kind of quarter life crisis.
“Home-learning” is such a huge sham. I have so much work to do :( :( :(

the +/- of things
- friends who i fucking hate
- school term starts tomorrow
- haven’t finished my homework
- our bowling trip has been postponed ): lynn and wern, i say we skip school to go bowling.+ none so far
I thought today was going to be a good day because of the arrangement of the numbers on the date today. I feel partially responsible for the many thwarted opportunities for exciting adventures together so we shall spontaneously organize one within january. Is that a good idea!
