I thought I would do something differently n respond to your reflections first before reading Meditations haha. This phrase is very comforting. It’s the first week of school. So far, I have been a good boy and am sleeping at 11pm without succumbing to revenge procrastination. But somehow, I wake up at 5am the next day (half an hour earlier before my alarm). I feel reasonably sharp but maybe there is a residual anxiety within me that gnaws at my consciousness. So many things to do, so little time, no time for deep work n decompression! But spiritual gravity kinda calms me down. I want to grow into an oak tree with deep roots, unfettered by the storms of life. I do want to strengthen my inner core, yet maintain a fun lightheartedness to it all 🙃

Thanks for writing xP
