“True happiness is to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future, not to amuse ourselves with either hopes or fears but to rest satisfied with what we have, which is sufficient, for he that is so wants nothing. The greatest blessings of mankind are within us and within our reach. A wise man is content with his lot, whatever it may be, without wishing for what he has not.”

—Seneca

Non attachment is something I’ve been trying hard to grasp, and maybe one day master.

The emotional wiring that creates within us the overwhelming need to emotionally validate our actions and thoughts can be altered. Reading about polyvagal theory and doing Vagus nerve exercises has profoundly changed my mind, my viewpoint, and most of all, has helped me to work on stopping my masking behaviours.

Letting go without attachment applies to our thoughts: to the instinctual feeling we may have that forces us to internally assign a good or bad value to everything we do, say, and feel. If we can practice mindfulness in observing these valence checking behaviours, we can rewire our brains to let them go.

II.

My tutor taught me not to favour either green or blue at chariot races, nor in the contests of gladiators, to be a supporter either of light or heavy armed. He taught me also to endure labour; not to need many things; to serve myself without troubling others; not to intermeddle in the affairs of others, and not easily to listen to slanders against them.

—Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, Book I

No longer feel the need to convince

❀❀❀❀

A little party never hurt no one . We are born to be free

In the past, when people misunderstood me, I felt a strong urge to set the record straight. I wanted to convince them that their perception of me was incorrect and prove that I was a different type of person. But nowadays, when others make incorrect assumptions, I no longer feel the need to try and correct them.

✧✧✧✧✧

If those closest to me see me in a way that does not match how I see myself, that is actually for the best. The version of "me" that exists in their minds reveals something meaningful about our relationship and the bond we share. The person they think I am reflect the person I am in their heart and experience of our connection.

It is easy to feel an instant connection, but the challenge is to maintain it over the long term. The adult world is full of harsh realities, so even in love, we must stay rational and clear-headed. Do not overestimate your place in others' hearts, and do not expect people to always think of you. You are you, and I am me. We are fortunate to have each other, even for a moment. Cherish every encounter, and accept every loss. This is the healthiest attitude toward any relationship.

Avoiding assumptions about how much others prioritize you

Accepting each person's distinct - You see the world through your eyes; others see it through theirs.

Being grateful for the connections you do have, however brief or imperfect

Being present and fully open - Cherish the moment for what it offers now

Welcoming change and loss as inevitable parts of relationships - Every ending creates space for beginnings

Core Stoic Principles ✨

Stoicism is a universal approach to ethics, personal growth, and resilience. The core teachings of Stoicism focus on the development of our personal virtue, the practice of reason, and the pursuit of wisdom to live a fulfilling and peaceful life.

Understanding What is Within Our Control: Recognizing the difference between what we can control (our thoughts, emotions, and actions) and what we cannot (external events, the actions of others) is central to Stoic philosophy. Focusing on our internal states rather than external circumstances which can lead you to a more peaceful and productive life.

Living Virtuously: Living according to virtue is the only good. Wisdom, courage, justice, and temperance are central to leading a good life.

Practicing Mindfulness and Self Reflection: This involves reflecting on your thoughts, emotions, and actions to understand them better and align them with rational thinking.

Acceptance: Accepting things as they come, without distress, and understanding the natural flow of life can lead to inner peace. This acceptance is not passive resignation but an emotionally balanced way.

Emotional Regulation: Stoics believe in facing challenges head on with a calm and composed mindset, learning from experiences, and not being overwhelmed by our emotions.

Community: Stoicism teaches the importance of living in harmony with others and contributing to the common good. Focusing on the idea that we are part of a larger community and as a result we should be advocating for actions that benefit society as a whole.

Change, I guess, is the only thing in life you can truly take for granted. Some desperately long for it, others try to run from it. But no matter whether we try to force or avoid it, change will come. And ultimately, that seems neither good, nor bad. Even if everything we know changes, we can trust that change is one thing that'll stay with us forever, for change is permanent. While we might hate this for all the uncertainty that comes with change, I guess we'd be better off to embrace it. After all, with every tree that dies, there's room for new ones.
