This moment

Most people are never fully here. Their mind is already chasing the next moment, the next solution, the next version of life where everything finally feels okay.

There is a quiet belief running in the background that says, “This moment isn’t important. The next one will be better.”

But life does not happen later. It only ever happens now.

When you are constantly waiting for the next moment, you miss your own life while it is unfolding. You miss small moments of calm. You miss relief that is already available. You miss the fact that right now is survivable, even if it is imperfect.

Healing does not happen in the future. Peace does not live in tomorrow. They are practiced in this moment, exactly as it is.

The present moment is not standing in your way. It is the only place your life actually exists.

How often do you catch yourself waiting for life to start later. What would change if you let this moment be enough, just for a minute?

I don't know what to do

I've been having really bad memory gaps and I am genuinely worried. I'm pretty sure I posted about it but I'm sitting here in physical pain while I go through my online calendar for appointments I need to schedule transportation for. I know I'm missing something. I'll make some calls tomorrow and figure it out. But I got to admit I'm burnt out and I need Pauley to be supportive. I feel like shit and she doesn't have any spoons to help. She needs support.
She finally got a psychiatrist, the same one that I have. She met with him for 2 hours on Thursday last week. She was genuinely impressed and feels more confident it will be good for her. I told her they basically saved my life.
I'm really disappointed by the lack of support groups for diabetes and eye disease. I am so sick of feeling completely alone while I battle through prior authorization red tape and get told I have to do 6 weeks of something that will cause further damage we won't discuss until we're halfway through. I'm tired of constantly being in pain so bad I can't get out of bed.
I gotta schedule an appointment with my neuroopthalmologist. I gotta touch base with her in regards to my intense eye pain on both sides. It's happening more often than before. And the pain is behind both of my eyes. I'm gonna get a printout to take to my surgical neuroopthalmologist and see what she says.
I gotta call my pcps office to have them send over the records of all the imaging I've had done over the last 2 years. That's got lumbar spine, hips, thoracic and cervical spine imaging.
Remembering the testing and imaging and appointments from the last 4 years just keeps getting worse as I go along my merry way. But once my doctor has a more thorough understanding of the extent of my injuries, I know she's gonna figure me out.
Pauley is currently tweezing hair out of her legs. I'm hoping the new meds help. But she's been kinda mean. I need a chance to get out without her. We are up each other's ass 24/7. I need an excuse to go out for coffee.
I'm about to go to bed but I doubt I'll get any sleep. I got 3 hours of sleep on my couch earlier today.
6 days something something. If you know...

Mental Health Tool

One of the most underrated mental health tools is writing things down. Not to solve everything. Not to be perfect. Just to get things out of your head and onto paper. That’s why therapy works. That’s why venting works. Expression creates relief. If you can’t talk to someone right now, write. Journal. Write messy thoughts. Write poetry. Write without editing yourself. The more you do it, the more you’ll understand your emotions instead of fighting them. And when you understand where they come from, you can finally start changing them.

Have you ever tried writing things out when your mind feels heavy?

Pay attention to your inner voice today.

The words you choose shape your inner world.

Not just the ones you say out loud, but the ones you repeat quietly to yourself.

Notice how you speak when no one else is listening.

Is your inner voice honest, or harsh.

Is it helpful, or just loud.

Does it bring care into your life, or more pain.

Self love begins when you stop attacking yourself with words.

When you pause before speaking and choose something gentler instead.

One small practice that helps is gratitude.

Even on hard days, softly saying “thank you” can interrupt the spiral.

Not because everything is perfect, but because you are still here.

The way you speak to yourself matters more than you think.

Would you speak to someone you love the way you speak to yourself. What would change if you softened your words just a little. 👇

~ Thanks to all. Thanks for all. ~

What’s one thing you’re willing to give up for better mental health?

Good mental health doesn’t cost money, but it costs effort. It costs patience, consistency, and the courage to face yourself. You can’t buy peace of mind. You build it by practicing it daily. So ask yourself, are you putting in the work for your mental health the same way you would for your physical health?

Suffering isn’t the opposite of happiness, it’s the soil where happiness grows. 

Without suffering, there is no happiness. We tend to reject pain as if it’s something wrong, something to escape. But what if it’s not something to escape, what if it’s something to embrace?

Every difficult emotion you’ve ever felt has shaped your capacity to feel joy, to understand others, to love more deeply. Suffering softens us. It teaches compassion. It makes us human.

You don’t have to run from it. You don’t have to fix it right away. Just hold it with tenderness, like you would hold someone you love who’s hurting.

When you can cradle your own suffering with gentleness instead of judgment, something powerful happens. You begin to heal.

How do you practice being gentle with yourself when you’re hurting?

~ Thanks to all. Thanks for all. ~

How to hold on to happy emotions

Emotions are not meant to be controlled or contained. They are meant to flow. The more you try to hold on to happiness, the more it slips away. The more you resist sadness, the stronger it becomes. Peace begins when you stop fighting the natural rhythm of your emotions. Let yourself feel everything — joy, sadness, calm, fear — and then let it move through you. That is how healing happens.

What emotion have you been holding on to lately? 👇

Do you ever feel like you’re constantly busy but not actually doing what matters to you?

You don’t have to fill every moment of your life with plans, people, and responsibilities that drain you. You don’t need to say yes to everything.

During lockdown, many people realized how much peace came from stillness. Now that the world is loud again, it’s easy to lose that clarity.

Protect your energy. Cancel plans that do not serve you. Say no to things that take you further from yourself. You are allowed to live life on your terms.

What’s one thing you can start saying no to today? 👇
