You are most welcome Dom. I went through a phase when my writing was quite dark, as well–right around your age, actually. I’m so glad that my tiny post made a positive difference in your day. =)

I have only now come across this website; only now even vaguely looked into the Buddhist school of thought. I am a 18 year-old who loves writing, but I have consistently found that everything I write is fueled by melancholy thoughts. I became a misanthrope, envisioned myself as some sort of tortured writer like Poe and penned stories of the horror of man, the evil that environs us all and Dystopian sci-fi. And yet, my life is comfortable; my problems meagre. A close friend of mine died last year, which certainly didn’t help, but I became incredibly interested in philosophy. Stoicism appealed to me, but as much as I loved the idea of being able to accept all events that came to be, I couldn’t put it into practice.

Right now, this speaks volumes to me. You have certainly achieved many points on this list – it is the small acts of beauty and love that are most important in a person’s life, and I believe this is one of them. I hope this comment is not too sickly-sweet to digest, but I cannot express my thanks enough through text. Even if this feeling is temporary, currently I am happy and at peace. Thankyou so very, very much.

You’re most welcome Noelle. I know what you mean about wishing you could always feel beautiful. Sometimes when I make big mistakes, I start to feel that familiar wallowing in shame feeling–and I wish I didn’t have to have those days. It helps me to remember that those days come and those days pass. And oftentimes, it’s on those days when I learn the most and write the most helpful pieces. Those days aren’t always comfortable, but they can be useful!
