Just the other day I was thinking of how much admiration I feel for people who are comfortable with themselves, for who realizes that life is too short to spend it looking for the reaffirmation of others.
I think it was Anne Lamott who wrote that "there is beauty in comfort". Being present —and doing it will all your mind and spirit— has to do with acceptance, and with acceptance comes comfort. There’s beauty in all those people who find serenity in the restraints of their own place, occupation, skin. Everyday they choose to see the glass half full and to live this life at its best —no matter which one of the gazillions possible ones it turned out to be.
lovely writing 💞i’m reading the midnight library right now and this reminds me a lot of it – it’s like a contemplation of possibility and choices and regrets in the form of a novel
How you choose to approach the world shapes your entire experience living in it. Maybe that’s what we love about meditation — it shows us that what we pay attention to is a decision in itself.
Thank you for writing this Nicole, it felt good.

Thank you Anita!! Yeah love the idea that there can be many lives of possibility, but the only true one is the one you're living.
This was so beautiful. 😭❤️✨ thank you for writing it.
