there is something that works really well,  and that is cold turkey, and i recommend it.

as an experiment, spend a month in the forest, or on a mountain or desert or s some such - to your liking.

the trick of this and the important part is that you have to separate yourself from all of it.

it works, it does wonders; within 2 days, you'll be a different person, and the growth is continual.


it's not that hard, though it may seem like a lot to a first glance... it does take a sincere determination though.


as a help, it'll just get -- very peaceful, after a couple of days... if that's what you wish for.

it did take me a lot of years before that tho.. so i recommend that too, but anyway good luck!




Yeah I'd like to go "cold turkey" but have to close some real estate deals first and keep up on finances.  Frankly getting fucked by leaving the world doesn't sound too appealing right now.  Maybe next year as they say.  Peaceful?  I can't wait, I'm lined up just not dialed in.

Sounds like you are on this path for a while, don't wish me luck, tell me a fucking story!  God damnit!

More and more this silence thing keeps popping up for me.

I often didn't talk as a child and teenager. And I do know for a fact I am controlling and stubborn. :lol: Really trying to work on those things. I really don't talk much sometimes unless I feel very comfortable with someone. I am bad at communication so I think as an adult I would force myself to speak and say whatever it is on my mind. But most speaking for me felt forced and I didn't really have much to talk about as most of my interests were slightly shunned from my peers. 

Saying that I would love to be quiet again. Hard to do with a child though but I think being quiet enough with exception of routine social interactions with loved ones would be fine. Luckily I don't have a job anymore so it would be easier. Plastering a happy face on every day and reacting optimistically to my customers was very exhausting as my stress grew. I can be extremely outgoing at times and am naturally friendly. But I would keep up appearance even on a bad days.

I think I'm already beginning a quiet type solitude for a month right now. I've been feeling very confused about numerous things. Naturally going thru and quieting my mind would be very beneficial with this. Also communicating my emotions with art. I've been putting that on the back burner a long time now.

Time to enjoy the silence.




come back guys

I didn't draw this.

Well a monk wouldn't go to a bank :sun: they beg!

But yes being is some thing.

Quite something after we get older and lost in thought and ego and forget how to just be.

The essence that you are.

Awareness.


--------------------
Learn to love all the things that you think are bad and then your life will start to be good.
