I am so grateful to be on this train ride back to Tønsberg. Earlier, as I left the train station in Oslo, I struggled with the natural desire to cry and also the need to consider the feelings of others. Now, as I sit here and reflect, I am grateful for the opportunity to feel and process my emotions. I feel a sense of openness and space in my chest, and my hands are tingling with excitement for what is to come.
I'm currently on a train ride back to Tønsberg. Earlier, as I left the train station in Oslo, I struggled with my desire to cry freely while also not wanting to draw attention or upset others.
I'm sitting on the train back to Tønsberg. Right after we separated and I went back into the train station in Oslo I was walking a tightrope between allowing myself to cry as much as I want but also not triggering a reaction from other people.
I think is the key to many people's problems.
Whenever we have a real problem, it is usually in the meaning of things.
But in their essence, things don't have any meaning.
It's us who make the meaning.
The “problem” that just made my energy feel a bit weird was not that I was struggling with unwanted emotions. It was that my thoughts just didn't stop unfolding into more and more complexity. I was overthinking an imaginary issue.
Yep, I did it again. This time I got a copy of “Lighter” by Yung Pueblo.
I think it's a book that shouldn't be left only to those who decide to buy it.
