The main thing I realized recently is how lost my mind has become. I stopped meditating, I stopped reading books, and I'm consuming an unhealthy amount of news. The worst part of all this is that I’m painfully aware of all this happening. I’m mindful enough to notice the inner workings of my mind going to shit but not mindful enough to do what’s needed to change the situation. I despise being in this silly middle ground. But at the same time, I’m grateful to know that there’s a way out of this and it only requires some dedication, a healthy dose of patience, and more importantly some kindness towards myself.
