The School of Life
Ashamed and bemused by our own fragility, we consistently underestimate how anxious everyone else is.
I have, very recently, found myself in a place that I feel I have always been striving for. This is not a spiritual awakening, but it has been a pleasant realisation of my own contentment. I’ve never felt so calm and grounded in my life. Because I know exactly who I am and where I am going and what I have waiting for me.. You can’t even decide what you want for breakfast.
Some crazy old gypsy lady that used to come to my grandmothers house used to tell me that I was too self-aware for someone so young. Used to always tell me to stop wasting my time because nobody deserved it. Used to warn me about empathy and the burden of intelligence and worldlieness beyond your years. I finally understand what she was going on about.
