One thing I learned today: "It's a medium of entertainment which permits millions of people to listen to the same joke at the same time, and yet remain lonesome." -TS Eliot, on television

One thing I learned today: "You buy furniture. You tell yourself, this is the last sofa I will ever need in my life. Buy the sofa, then for a couple years you're satisfied that no matter what goes wrong, at least you've got your sofa issue handled. Then the right set of dishes. Then the perfect bed. The drapes. The rug. Then you're trapped in your lovely nest, and the things you used to own, now they own you." - Chuck Palahniuk
One thing I'm grateful for: Waking up.

One thing I learned today: I HATE texting and social media. I hate screens. I truly do. They are just addictive forces that pull me back in, but I worry if I abandon them, I won't be able to find the other souls who want to truly connect. That I'll just be greeted by a hundred other faces downcast, glowing in the light of screens.
But regardless, this machine goes tomorrow.
One thing I'm grateful for: That I'll never do this again.

One thing I learned today: The apathy is the worst part. Unbearable, loud, gut wrenching, raw, cutting emotion isn't half as scary. The apathy though - the apathy scares me.
One thing I'm grateful for: That someone knocked on my door and got me out of the house today. To anyone else reading this, I'll need more of that for the next few months.

One thing I learned today: I need to let it go a little bit. There's no way I can really win with my current strategy.
One thing I'm grateful for: Hearing something I could relate to. Someone who challenges me. The growth I've already achieved. Someone else's writing - you reminded me to go back and read about my own past struggles, and there turned out to be a lot of wisdom in those pages, as there was in yours. You helped me feel less alone. Learning (again) that space is important to communication. Hope. Knowing that family is thinking of me. A new month - I don't think I will ever stop loving fresh starts. An extra hour of rest when I really need it. Hope. Letting things be for now. Seeing myself in someone else and in watching him wrestle with his own mind, realizing for the thousandth time how important self-compassion is. Not judging myself for spending most of the day at home, because this is what is right now.
Hope.
