the mind.

Strive for progress, not perfection.

this morning i had carrot cake, i scraped off the icing and filling and just ate the insides. and then i drank green tea - because my mind echoed that if i had a bad breakfast i could balance it with a healthy item.  i know this is the utmost bull, but yet i accepted this stupid logic and went with it.  322 calories of junk i consumed for breakfast. 

recently i have been feeling a bit on the down side. i've been super sensitive and super emotional. i cry at least three times a day.  and i don't feel content. i feel connected but discontent.  i feel like i face resistance everywhere i turn. resistance to my peace, happiness, and dreams. sometimes i am the resistance and other times it's loved ones and circumstances.  i am not patient by any means. i always want results yesterday.  but i want to attain my goals and i want to feel happy, so i am committed to be as patient as long as it takes.  my mind tells me that it will be eternity, but i know that's not true.  it will happen. i know it. and everyday is progress. 

to the stars,
