You know how we have always thought we were so very similar in our manner of thinking? Well, we were correct.
I haven't reached your level of completeness but I do so very much want to. And I know exactly where I am. I'm you. Your past and I just haven't woken up yet. And I don't know how to leave this "numb reality". This dream world. Oh, how very much do I need to wake up. Sometimes I think I can understand, but then it slips away, lost in my personal doubts and criticism.
I cried. Cause who you were I am now. Not constantly but sometimes. And it breaks my heart. Cause I know I have the power but I dont know what to focus on. I really really dont. Your body is your temple. I'm afraid I wont reach mine.
But thanks to you, this entry, and everything in between, I will try to find it. To understand and fully commit to it. Goddess help me.

There is a reason why societies ranging from the ancient Greeks to tenth century Buddhists to modern Christians have all deplored vanity and superficiality
