shed that shallow skin




simplicity.
it's kind of a silly analogy, but I had to restart my macbook the other day, and my 10+ tabs were lost.
instead of feeling anxious, angry, or empty, I felt really free.
in the past, as I kept on adding to my collection of tabs on my window, I couldn't bring myself to close any of them.
but when they were taken from me without my consent, I really had no choice.
I feel like once we are somewhat forced to start something over, it's really not that hard--it's just working up the strength to do it ourselves that's the difficult process.

I think it's the same in our lives too.
we feel that we have to save and collect all these useless things of the world, because we think that we'll need them sometime in our future.
but in the end, they'll all be taken from us, and we should feel the same sense of peace and freedom.

it's something I think we all know, but we just need a reminder every now and then.

we were meant to live for so much more,
have we lost ourselves?
