My mind is feeding me lies. Words that fall heavy and dark. “No one cares”, it says. “Just give up”, it whispers. I know not to listen, but it’s hard. Sometimes I wish I was a different person. One who can tell the difference between truth and lies. One who can stand her ground and be by her own side. They say to be your own best friend. Oh, how I try! Only, it’s not that easy at times. I’m working on self-reliance. Part of that means validating my own feelings. I’ve heard, “hope is defiant”. Hope won’t give up. So why should I? It’s so fucking discouraging when my mind is feeding me lies.

Navigating Through Life 
In Astrology, the Mind is ruled by Mercury, who is the trickster god. It moves so fast (especially when perceived from the perspective of the sun at the center, which is what is “actually” happening in reality that it makes sense when we acknowledge how our own “mind(s)” move around in such a way that is difficult to capture. But, as far as lying, well, I suppose that is why meditation traditions say not to listen to the mind, that it is not truth, and thus “mind training.” Of course, reason is important. I have been finding lately that daily walks are so important, because even if my mind continues to come through, I can more easily focus on my body, and the breath, through exercise.
I found you randomly; just thought I’d reach out and say hi, no one is ever alone in this universe…
