i used to meditate in silence and it was agony. now i put my earphones in before i do and i’ve never felt better. i sit there and let the noise in. my airbuds listening minutes are off the rails. i need the noise. who the hell wants to live a quiet life? silence is boring but noise can be peaceful! put that music on!! belt the wicked defying gravity riff!! bang ur pots and pans!! whatever you do, for the love of god, do NOT stay quiet!!!!

falling in live with silence is so nice until you realize 99% of the time you are exposed to soooooo much noise. most times is so nice to just be quiet. Also there are really cool sounds around us, sometimes music is too much even lolol

i probably shouldn’t do this. i definitely shouldn’t, actually. i do it anyway. i write a substack piece all in one go then i take a breath and hit ‘post’ before i give myself the time to read it over. i think if i didn’t do this i would never post anything cuz i’d be stuck in an endless loop of redrafting.
writing to get it out into the world is enough of an intention for me. if i were to be any more careful in my practice i doubt anything would get written at all.

no it’s not dirty cuz i don’t get crumbs everywhere when i eat!! i feel so grounded and at one with everything around me simply because i am not limiting myself to the dining table. i’m eating in bed as i type this.

i was listening to this song on soundcloud and reading the comments and one of them said ‘god i want this to be played at my funeral’. since then i haven’t felt the same whenever i listen to it. maybe it’s because the lyrics are what i’m scared the end will be like, or because it’s slow enough that i won’t be rushing through all the memories.
i wrote a substack post about this. cos i can never shut up lol.
