Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
a horribly honest comic about my biggest problem atm, jealousy. and my irrational emotions.
jealousy is a difficult emotion and hard to admit to, because it makes you a right out mean and petty person (or at least me.). I think people feel jealous for differing reasons. Perhaps this stuff is really obvious, but i guess it wasn’t for me. I feel pretty sad today! anyway i pray to the gods that i’m not the only one who gets these fears.
“and i love you so much and im very proud of everything youve achived this year”
miscellaneous things
You took small steps, one after another, ever so painfully and gradually
you ascended cold stone halls until you stood before an altar, you
ached to say something, but found the air empty with silence, you stood
there waiting for the pale to take you back.
“But if the archangel now, perilous, from behind the stars took even one step down
toward us: our own heart, beating higher and higher, would beat us to death.
Who are you?”
~ Duino Elegies, Rainer Maria Rilke
“For beauty is nothing but the beginning of terror, which we are still
just able to endure, and we are so awed because it serenely disdains to
annihilate us. Every angel is terrifying.”
~ Duino Elegies, Rainer Maria Rilke
ppl will defend this nihilistic and depressive world view to the ends of the earth but some of yall need to check yourself before all this negativity worsens your clinical depression. there’s too much hopelessness on the internet and all of those messages are really toxic. especially fixating on things that you cannot change in the immediate moment. take a break… sniff a flower… tell your friend she looks beautiful… not everything is about the end of the world or how hopeless our survival is as a species.
Good advice.
change yourself only for yourself
