Toi La Toi




Carl Jung once said that loneliness doesn't come from having no one around you, but from being unable to communicate the things that are important to you. Keanu Reeves also said something that relates with me, he said that "I always felt like I'm not from this generation I just live in it. Because the way my mindset differs from the majority, you'd think I come from a different dimension. That's why I keep things to myself because a lot of people won't understand me.". Jorge Luis Borges said that "I'm not sure that I exist actually. I'm all the writers that I have read, all the people that I have meet, all the women that I have loved, all the cities I have visited.".

I am a laid back person with a ton of anxiety. I spend a great deal of time inside my mind, dream up a better world. I often compare myself with the better version of me, it caused me to think very little about me sometimes. I am a person who constantly looking to find a balance between not being cold because I am  "shut down" and not being too emotional because I am "open up". I love routine until I'm bored, then I love excitement until I'm overwhelmed, then I love routine. I will go from extreme drainage to time-bomb explosions, from deep focus to total chaos, from feeling everything to feeling nothing, it's all within me every day, every minute.

I will understand you, forgive you, and give you the benefit of the doubt until I get to the point where it's not that I don't care anymore but I just can't. I don't like being an inconvenience to strangers or creating ruckus in public. I walk faster so as to not hold up pedestrians behind me, I make sure that I don't splash people whilst driving in the rain, taking money beforehand to pay, I'm always looking out for other people even when they don't do so themselves. I see helping people as my purpose in life, however, my real passion is to get to the heart of the issue so that people are need not be rescued at all.

I also have a habit googling unknown phone numbers that call me before answering or calling them back. People often called me smart because I have a variety of information on different subjects but in reality, it's all surface-level intelligence and I don't feel like I really good at anything

The Gateway to All Understanding

The tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao The name that can be named is not the eternal Name. The unnamable is the eternally real. Naming is the origin of all particular things. Free from desire, you realize the mystery. Caught in desire, you see only the manifestations. Yet mystery and manifestations arise from the same source. This source is called darkness. Darkness within darkness. The gateway to all understanding. Tao The Ching Chapter 1

Addiction

Addiction is the fact or condition of being addicted to a particular substance or activity. Addiction usually start with pain and end with pain. People will turn to addiction as an escape from their 'hard to deal with' current circumstances. Addiction have negative connotation but in my opinion addiction can be good and bad. But anything that not being done in moderation tends to bring more harm and good.  However, the dichotomy of bad and good, can we really be able to distinguish them? In my own opinion again there is no such things as true good and true bad, all good and all bad. It all depends on our own perceptions and our current states when it's happen. What is good now might not be good again tomorrow, the thing that is good now was not good yesterday. If we are battling with any addiction today, let's all of us be kind to ourselves. We should all acknowledge our addictions and bring them to the lights, but we shouldn't condemn them. We are what we are now b...
