An Empty Existence

Some of have made the decision to live an empty existence. This choice can be made consciously or unconsciously, which is why we self-medicate with alcohol, drugs, food, or tobacco. These things make us feel good temporarily, that's why we continue the cycle. We're looking for the solution on the outside when it's really on the inside. We've been programmed to seek the outer. We lack knowledge of self, so we end up trying to find ourselves in other people and base our value in material things. We're afraid of ourselves. We fear being authentic. We've been taught not to look at our inner selves because that's where the power comes from. When we look deep within ourselves we're able to get to roots of our issues that cause us pain. Depending on the external is easier, that's how we get caught up in it. Inner work is harder, but the results are much more rewarding. - Daniel's Daughter

Truth

Do you love truth or are you just curious? You ask me questions, but you don’t like my answers. Why? Oh right. My answers don’t fit your idea of me. You don’t want truth. You don’t want to reconstruct your know-how to follow a reality that doesn’t fit your current beliefs. Embracing and finding my truth revealed aspects of myself that were appalling and complex, yet amazing. Facing this reality was painful, but it was needed. My truth is far beyond your mind, that’s why you don’t like or understand it. Maybe you can’t conceive my truth because you want to continue living in the Matrix. I love the truth even when it hurts. I love truth because I can accept it and admit when I’m wrong. Truth saved me. Truth set me free. You don’t want freedom. You want the illusion of it. – Daniel’s Daughter
