Considering everything that’s happening recently it’s getting increasingly harder to find rest and peace, and I’ve been wondering what do people in this community do for fun, if there’s any media you recently found you enjoy, or anything else that comes to mind.
It’s been really hard finding community where i live, and i thought maybe this will make me and other people like me feel a sense of community.
Picking produce from my garden, and cooking meals for my family, are the only things that bring me joy these days. My therapist runs a craft group, it doesn’t bring joy but it is helping with a sense of community.
Acknowledging that suffering is just as important as pleasure in the human condition, I’ve come to a peace with suffering. It’s just our turn in time. Oddly enough, facing the suffering head on with acceptance that the world has balance, has made a lot of room for joys in my small, daily life.
I don’t know when the last day with my family will be, and so, it is easy to appreciate our time today, basically.
I’ll try to keep all that in mind, hope can be very fleeting so it’s very appreciated
