Comfort food

There is comfort in constant misery and depression, I remember. You say you would do anything to see the world differently, but the twisted stability it offers draws you in. And all you have to do to see the world differently is...see the world differently. Yes, I believe that everything starts with a thought. It is hard work. Not only do you 'see' from the inside out (obviously), but you also project and simultaneously, continuously create the world around you. 

'To each according to his faith' is not about religion, any kind of religion. It is simply - what you deeply, unconsciously believe in and the belief system you have grown up on makes you see and create the world according to this model. And the world responds. It is not political and it is not rational by current dogmatic standards. It works on energetic levels and there is no wrong and no right, so there is no point in arguing why one child 'deserves' (what a horrific word in all its uses) to starve and one - to have every toy he points his little chubby finger at.  

We are not separate from the world around us, from our family or country. We have come into this world not as blank pages, but with yet another chance to grow and 'make' ourselves

. 

And, as trivial as it sounds, all that matters is how much you love yourself and the people around you, whether it be your neighbours or strangers a thousand miles away. 

Just because I believe that everything happens for a reason doesn't mean that it absolves me of any responsibility to care for or help others. But it certainly takes away any right to judge others or be cynical. 

Let's be 'sentimental' - live, love and learn. You won't remember anything else in your last moments

P.s. 'Mīli' is sort of an 'order' to love. My amazing translation skills shall not be ridiculed. 

All I Want For Christmas

Yes, it's November, Christmas is miles away and there are plenty of hilarious 'angry' posts on Facebook with a picture of a drunken Santa flipping you off while the message says 'It's November, dickheads, stop posting Christmassy shit' (or maybe it's just my friends). Yet here we are - listening to Last Christmas and genuinely not giving a fuck.

So, while I was downloading different versions of Silent Night, like an expert, I thought about what I want for Christmas (contradictory to All I Want For Christmas Is You, I want some other stuff, since wanting doesn't get you far).

Here's a list of things I would like to happen by Christmas and also stuff that I would like to get.

1. I'd like my friends to host an intervention for me and, tearfully reading from a piece of paper, beg me to stop using semicolon so much.
2. I'd like my laughter to not be so low.
3. Also, can I please have Lego? You're never too old for Lego.
4. Please, can Tinder self-destruct? For the sake of humanity. And love.
5. I'd like to be a member of Pentatonix. It looks like a lot of fun.
6. Cake.
7. May 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown never stop.
8. I'd like my knees to feel fantastic, so I can run more than ten kilometres.
9. I will need some help to stop making up names for my future children, I will never even have that many.
10. World peace.


God Bless You, children.
