As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly & clearly; and listen to others, even the dull & ignorant; they too have their story.
If you compare yourself with others, you may become bitter or vain; for always there will be greater & lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

as many very wise people have said comparison is the thief of fucking joy. I mean you hear these things time and time again but the validity of the statement never really reigns true until you are on the other side of it; in the muck, reflecting on all the ways in which you are not where you are "supposed" to be or meandering over the experiences everyone else around you has had. I won't lie to you and say that I fully believe that the derailments we face or the adversities one might endure are necessarily all products of "higher" teachings BUT I do believe that we rob ourselves of so much dignity when we use these hardships as anchors to what the rest of the world is pushing upon you. it is okay to take your time. it is okay to fail and not know how to pick back up the pieces. society SHOULD encourage everyone to move in accordance to their own natural rhythm and not make people conform into these perceived notions of growth. move at your own pace. we are all flailing around trying to figure this shit out. seek fulfillment as you chose. be gentler with yourself. being alive is already hard enough, and you've made it this far... and that pretty fucking incredible to me!

most people in the world now are going at such a fast pace that itβs sometimes hard to keep up with. Instead of also rushing to meet their standards, take your time. not in an asshole way, but make room for yourself to exist. Donβt put more pressure on your mental health ;)

Taking a long walk. For a year or so. Long enough to get out of the world you live in.

Some glad morning when this life is over
I'll fly away
To a home on God's celestial shore
When I die, Hallelujah, by and by
Just a few more weary days and then
I'll fly away
To a land where joy shall never end
I'll fly away
