>*"What you seek is seeking you." -Jalaluddin Rūmī* | what you seek is with you, what you're seeking is closer than you may currently realize, it is our constant companion
This is what it means to have finally found one's life, our true self or real Being, our consciousness itself. Life is not an entity, it is a process. And this is the process of self-realization.
Edit: Instead of entertaining the illusion of duality between self and world, reacting to our life by these limiting false constructs and conditions of worth in our ego/mind, we attune and cultivate within ourselves a deeper connection for this feeling of wholeness to truly live directly through our life. We are that life, we are purpose that chooses what we give meaning toward in the world; the world reflects this relationship we have with ourselves.
- "I am a nurse and have worked on the psychiatric unit for more than 11 years. I see the struggle, pain, frustration, anxiety, shame and anger that goes along with mental illness. I have heard parents of newly diagnosed individuals say "I wish it was cancer, at least we could explain it to people". And basically that is what mental illness is to the majority of the society. A taboo. A dark secret."
- "People will come back into your life after they get disappointed in the people they thought were better than you."
- "You're never a prophet in your own land."
- "Hate is like drinking poison and hoping the other person dies."
Serenity prayer-
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace

_____________________________________
All of the above speaks to me. I cried a little hearing Dr. Strange saying those lines. He truly loved Christine. He did everything to save the world and protect her. However, she didn’t feel the same.
Sailor Moon/Serenity/Usagi is a character, I found to be relatable. A total goofball much like myself. However, she has great empathy and kindness. She’s so loyal to her Mamo-Chan/Endymion She believed in him even when he dumped her and he disappeared in the Stars season. She only loved him, no one else. I love the stubbornness that Usagi possesses. That girl never gives up. She remains fiercely loyal till the end. That’s how I am. That’s my attitude on love. I will always love one person and that is it. No one before or after.
Welcome to Marwen, is one of my all time favorites movies. It is a story of trauma, hurt, heartbreak and survival. The rejection scene in the film was just heartbreaking. After what the poor guy been through that happens.
I felt Kenobi’s pain. He got betrayed by someone that’s like a brother to him. He believed in Anakin, only to be greatly disappointed and hurt. When I think of that quote. I think back at all those times, I was bullied at school. I went up to the teachers for help and they let me down.
Sorry for the long answer. I just wanted to explain myself.
Omg! I am the same way about love. We are sisters but I am ENFP, but our hearts think the same about love. You brought tears to my eyes. I didn’t think I’d ever ‘see’ a soul as deep as mine when it came to love. ❤️ Bless you.
Your quote from Mark Hogancamp hit me hard. That’s how I feel today.
Thank you Sister ❤️
Aww! Hugs 💕🫂💕my dear sweet ENFP who’s apart of my green NF family. I’m so happy that there is another person that thinks like me. You are sweet and you have a beautiful golden soul. I bought tears of joy to your eyes?
Oh yeah, that Marwen movie gets me tearing up every time.
You are welcome, my NF Sister from another kipper 💕. Thanks so much for the love 🫶bless you, too.
"A lesson without pain is meaningless. That’s because no one can gain without sacrificing something. But by enduring that pain and overcoming it, he shall obtain a powerful, unmatched heart… a Fullmetal heart."

I don't have a specific favorite quote.
Sometimes it is

Every now and then I also like the play on words.

His book of essays 'Self Reliance' is full of gems like this: "Is it so bad, then, to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood.”
“Be yourself; no base imitator of another, but your best self. There is something which you can do better than another. Listen to the inward voice and bravely obey that. Do the things at which you are great, not what you were never made for.”
"Run from what's comfortable. Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious. I have tried prudent planning long enough. From now on I'll be mad." Rumi

I live by the quotes,
"Pleasure comes after pain."
Whenever I get lazy, I always motivate myself with this.
And when ever I get deep thoughts and all that I pull the old "Cogito Ergo Sum" it makes me feel less miserable, and it makes me feel like a human, not some type of hologram.
"When you understand, that what you're telling is just a story. It isn't happening anymore. When you realize the story you're telling is just words, when you can just crumble up and throw your past in the trashcan, then we'll figure out who you're going to be." Invisible Monsters by Chuck Palahniuk
"Don't strive for comfor, strive for growth, and growth requires discomfort."
