Ready to lose

I once thought to myself 

“A man should always be ready to lose what’s important to him” 

And I believe that to be true, although I think a better sentence would be with “You” instead of “A man”. As… Well, that statement should apply to both men and women. Both are people.


Anyway, I like to think that’s a good rule to live with. Not only do we know eventually everything we have will be gone and thus to be “ready” for it won’t let it hurt as bad, but sometimes things or people just leave our lives without any prior warning. 

An easy way to bypass this rule is to shield yourself from everything and everyone, so you don’t have anything important so when you do eventually lose something, you won’t care as much.

This would get the adjective Great if it didn’t already have the adjective Miserable. 

To have fun is to expose yourself somehow, I seriously cannot imagine having fun doing something if you don’t allow yourself to care about something. So to prevent you from caring at all just means living a miserable life.

What I mean by “be ready” is just to mentally be aware that the things you care about will go away eventually, sometimes being our fault or not. And this also involves letting go of things.


Today I came up with this realization. We all want to achieve certain things, success, fame, or just a random skill. Of course if we want those things and it’s only up to us to get there, we’ll work towards them (Hopefully). But there’s a little thing which can drive you crazy (Seriously crazy) if you don’t watch out. Obsession.

Obsession for something as far as I know is only good if you’re looking to be the best at something, like… Competition wise. Anywhere else will just kill you slowly.  

Now I’m sure you can already see how this is connected to being ready to lose what’s important to you. If you’re working towards something, no matter what, I’ve learned the best way to deal with the mental stress of not being there yet and to not obsess over it is to mentally be ok with letting it go if you need to.
You obviously won’t let go. It’s something you want. But if you hypothetically NEEDED to, it’s better for the mind to be able to live a life without it.

Seriously, if you REALLY want something, the thought of just letting it go might feel like it’s getting blocked by an invisible wall in the brain, and only you know how to slowly break the wall.

I can’t quite explain it well, it’s like by being ok to live without it you become somehow wiser.


That’s all for today’s episode.

See you tomorrow with something new.

Just send a text to lifeisworthlivingv1@gmail.com Everyone changes  Growth in your bones  Understanding life takes time  To blossom in flowers  Your flower is your development Having to learn a lesson  To change who you are  Wanting something so bad  But knowing that it will take time  To find that love one  God knows your story  So try to live up every moment  You know everyone loves you You need to love yourself  Let yourself change  Become someone who is better  Than the previous one  Understand life is one step closer  So don’t like anything stop  From becoming a flower of your former self  Bloom into something else  Entirely.

Pieces from the past

 Today's post is brought by: mayi – Medium Go check more of their work and come back tomorrow to see what's new! Wish to write tomorrow's post? Just send a text to lifeisworthlivingv1@gmail.com We haven’t spoken since that last time, which is honestly impressive considering how committed the universe has been to arranging near-misses. We grew up together, knew the same people, lived in the same circles, and even after ending up hundreds of miles apart, there’s always someone who knows you, knows me, or knows someone who knows both of us. At this point, I’m starting to suspect we’re just poorly written recurring characters. I have my own life now and so do you. There are new people, new routines, new problems, and presumably better things to think about. There is absolutely no practical reason for either of us to be thinking about the other. Which is why, every once in a while, I consider deleting that playlist. You know the one. The playlist I made entirely of songs you int...

Don't overcomplicate

Today's post is brought by: H. Tayrone Come back tomorrow to see what's new! Wish to write tomorrow's post? Just send a text to lifeisworthlivingv1@gmail.com I had a realization these days and it genuinely made my work and many other aspects of my life easier. Maybe things aren’t as complicated as they seem. Perhaps you had that feeling too before. I noticed that if I stop thinking of things as a really complicated puzzle I manage to make more progress. Seriously, for so long I asked myself what people do that I’m not doing.  Why do some things just come to people so easily when it is so "complicated" to get the thing? These “things” tend to be building projects, behaving certain ways, or just achieving something. And I believe for the longest time I over complicated all that. Everything had to be thought out for it to work to the point I felt like there was something wrong with me because I was trying so hard to make it work and other people didn’t seem to try an...
