The fact that where I am right now exists in every moment yet I’m too clouded by a consumption based mind is sad.
I guess it’s different for us all. I soothed with food as a kid in a pretty wild and scary environment. So denying myself that comfort my be way it’s so profound for me. Maybe the key for each of us is to deny ourselves that which soothes us. The soothing is fake, we created it. We don’t need it. So freeing ourselves from that “need” or “want” to consume that which soothes us unlocks parts of us that we didn’t even know existed.
