Look at a full vivid painting, and look at an empty picture.

If you immediately see a full vivid painting and an empty picture, and see them for what they are, slavery is your friend. ↗

Frustration and Love can’t exist in the same place at the same time, so get real and start doing what you would rather be doing in life. Love your life. All of it. Even the heavy shit that happened to you when you were 8. All of it was and IS perfect. ↗
