I love when desire leads to disappointment. It’s a classic

The moments of pain should be used to as a catalyst for good. Let anger drive you to work harder for the things that benefit and passionate you. Let disappointment make you more disciplined in avoiding the things that keep you distracted and separated from the path to greatness. But don’t let them extinguish the flame that drives you to show up for yourself everyday. Regardless of the actions of others you still owe yourself the best there is to to offer.

I’ve realized that material gain is only a temporary fix for a spiritual wound. You can become a billionaire and still be the same scared kid trying to prove your worth to people who aren't even watching. The soul doesn't need a high net worth to feel secure; it needs you to go back and tell your younger self that they were always enough, even with nothing.

i think avoiding everything is going to save me for real this time

while one is consciously afraid of not being loved, the real, though usually unconscious fear is that of loving.
