Honestly, you need to know how bad it can get for you to enjoy what you have. It’s been a tough year, and with all this pain came a lot of growth. Thank God for growth I guess. - Jack

when life smacks u in the face u realize what a lil bitch u were before and puts everything into perspective. instead of whining about how rough you have it and ruminating in regret, being grateful and having self compassion wins every time

Maybe i have too high a tolerance for discomfort but something tells me thats not the worst thing. Whats so bad about slapping on a smile when it hurts. You go for a run you change your perspective and things are good until they aren’t and you go and try to fix it again. about the journey right? maybe it is better to be honest with yourself i dont know. But this works sometimes for me believe in life and love try ur best etc. sorry to preach.

It's an interesting irony that with using a better iphone camera, I was afraid the better quality would magnify x100 my flaws like pores and skin imperfections. But your good features also show up even more clearly - even if your (muscle) memory is still trained from acne ridden years of family, and self-rejection.
And the other funny thing is that I was thinking, because I never felt like, you know, happy, happy, but it's not that kind of happy. It's more like before, if I could get better, more money, better health, look thinner, or look better, or get a better job, have someone, you know, you love, who loves you, that will make you happy. But actually it's not like that at all. It's like I had to go through these quite horrific mentally and emotionally wrecking years and thank God finally got rid of a terrible toxic narcassist, and I realized happiness is actually someone not stealing you from you, not poisoning you, your life, not dragging you into their chaos (but blaming you, telling you you are TOO this and not enough that!!) That's happiness. It's actually a strange revelation. I mean, it's not so strange after you realize it, but before and after, that's what people think it is, is happiness is not what we expect it to be. The middle is real shit though. And I still don't know what tomorrow will bring. But God.

grateful for the archive as everything becomes edited erased and forgotten in real time there’s remnants of the past here alive and reduced to files. favorite recent find has been this handbook for the chateau marmont from 1996 with writing by william faulkner, eve babitz, and mike davis. make sure to search the metadata.
edit: since i wrote this archive.org has unfortunately been shut down so here’s some ashwagandha supplements i been vibing with lately

I fucking love this song. I don’t even particularly know why. Listen to the peel session version from 98, it’s the best version. Listening to BJM is important. - Jack
