Today was spent researching after coming back from Pujo. I spent some time with Ma after she returned from school. I discussed with her all the various things I'd learnt from Jung today.
There is a part of me that has become so lax that I'm scared.
I also realised, researching the Archetypes, that I'm far too judgmental. I should really try and understand people and walk in their shoes.
I've been worried about Ma and Pa. Life is ephemeral and impermanence is the nature of life. What is mine will stay. What has to shed will. Nothing is constant.
Also, of course, I have to accept that I've struggled with my mental health. I have to be kind to myself and kind to others. I know that things will pick up and that my novel will see completion and that I will victor.
I know that there is a good life ahead for me.
Sometimes when I observe my life line I get a little worried. But aren't these all superstitions?
James Allen says, "As a man thinketh so is he."
What we think we live.
I should understand all the people I judge harshly and not judge them. I don't know their back story. Just like people don't know mine.
Today I came upon a splendid resource: Writing tips by Hemingway.
1. Be descriptive
2. Be empathetic
3. Practice, practice, practice
I'd read that Bibhutibhushan Bandhopadhyay had written that the only way to write something is to write it.
So to write it. I'm basically juggling four things: The novel, the yi gig, the article writing and Tarot, and that calls for far more discipline. I'm all good when I get up in the morning and then I lose myself after chanting into reading.
Since 2019 when I quit journalism my life has been undulating. I haven't found that one thing that I can make mine. The answer is clear: it's writing. But with Chatgpt the payment for writers has reduced. And I've often found it hard to make money, especially ever since Chatgpt has been introduced.
Even if I can do something for 25 minutes on the Pomodoro I'm good. And that's not so tough. So 25 minutes of each of my interests it is. I will win it!
I am feeling:
Calm
Understanding
Sleepy
Loving
Hopeful
Disciplined
Geared
Happy
A little fearful
Inquisitive
Curious
Like a learner
I am grateful for my parents, who are the reason I am, and for all of life's wonderful experiences. I am grateful for having lived this day, a day of understanding myself and others.
Love,
Me.
