Hi Everyone!

Today I read the parable of the jewel in the robe.

This resonates with me quite a lot.

I do not want much. Part of me wants for more but another part is content with a sliver of happiness.

Deep down I am afraid of asking for more, afraid of being free enough to be truly happy.

I feel like society is not concerned about happiness. It is concerned with how we should behave. Perhaps that is what I am concerned with too?

I guess, the truth in that text is that what we need is within us all along.

Some good news since I have been on this path, I am noticing a decrease in habitual suicidal ideation.
