Done with therapy.
Spent our last session talking about “am I being a cultist” with my new found Buddhism obsession. (Therapist says no). I had to go there because of my life long habit of “wanting structure but also wanna stick it to the man”. My mind is good at gymnastics #therapy #MentalHealth #personal

in reply to tiny fat birb • • •The Buddha was born rich and eventually decided "Fuck it. I do not need this crap."
Or, more actually, decided: "I" do not exist, so "I" do not need all this crap.
All existence is suffering

He realised that he needed to preserve his life and nourish his body, if he was to continue his quest for enlightenment. Rejecting both extreme pleasure and extreme denial, he took up ‘the middle path’. "
