Chronicle #3

Hey there, thanks for being here. I hope you’re happy and taking care.

This blog post is dedicated to those who may perceive that they are in a tough spot– maybe one they can’t dig themself out of. One that needs to hear why becoming neutral is the most strength you will hold in times of pain.

Recently, a situation occurred where I found myself hurting. It seemed like things were blowing up in my face and I had no strength other than to watch it happen. However, as soon as I got an instance of clarity, I remembered that I’m the only creator of my book and If I dont keep taking advantage I’ll lose my good.

In this situation, I wanted to be mad. Despite the pain I was feeling myself, I also served to recognized that other people were also hurt. Hurt is not a comparison, I could not compare my feelings to someone elses and wish that other people would understand what I felt.

With that being said, I remembered a wise friend telling me about the power of neutrality. Essentially, you can be mad or sad or whatever it is you’re feeling, but as soon as you become neutral you have the power to heal. The thing or person that hurt you will not longer have the weight on your chest that it once did.

You may wonder how one can become neutral in a system of hurt, but the answer is simply mind over matter. One thing that helps me is to remind myself that every other person has their issues. Some are better at handling their’s than others, but everyone struggles in a way. When we recognize that, we can evaluate how much our hurt will serve us in the future. The pain that I am feeling will do nothing but make me slow down my progression. So, if I can look at this pain and recognize and understand that it is only temporary, then the pain will slowly become less visible. Becoming neutral with the people that hurt me allows them to heal too, but not in my track. Take care of yourself before you can let other people in your lane again.

Pain to me is cruel but is also so beautiful. I always preach the lessons that we learn by facing those feelings head on and it’s only because this life is too damn short. Learn who you are, feel what happens to you, and evolve as the person you want to be- independently. Nobody has the power to take away any of what you created for yourself.

Conflicts are so normal but so many people dwell, hate, and just soak. People often perceive conflicts to be negative, but they can also be positive for they are a moment of growth. We as humans need to remember that everyone has their own struggle and if we can handle ours a little better, then maybe someone else can too.

My wish is that we become so comfortable with ourselves that nothing can ever destroy our humanity. Live and laugh and cry and sing and enjoy every single minute that this floating world has to offer.

Thanks for listening. Take care and remember everything is temporary except for the love you give yourself.
