Oh man. I just realized how much I’ve neglected a very important part of my emotional life. I’ve been SO afraid of sliding down the path of mental pain again, of going down the rabbit hole of despair, that I haven’t really been able to be with the feelings and...

Ungrateful bastards.

by Marnix Pauwels | aug 2, 2020 | Awakening, English, Insights, Personal, Purpose and Meaning, Spirituality
