ive been watching ginny n georgia, been reading old blog posts and notes on my phone. it goes way back but i was always so aware of this dark pit in my stomach, this void and hollow darkness in the back of my mind. i hate marcus because deep down i know thats who i become if i let these thoughts win. i see myself in him, i see the worst potential that could become if i let it. letting it, or not letting it, i cant ever claim that i would never let myself become him, because i probably have, maybe almost did, and i can never be too confident because i am just a weak servant who is always in need of God. it was never a linear line but they come and go as they please — these feelings—and i have still yet to cure myself. cure is simple, the antidote is right there. but its not permanent. ive “cured” myself at times. sometimes i invalidate my own feelings because i think everyone feels this way, but i guess not? (i am still unsure, i really wholeheartedly used to believe everybody felt this). is it true what they say, that its hereditary? embedded in the genes, is it true, that i feel this because my iman is low ? (quite possibly). do any of my siblings or parents get these thoughts too? why i believe / used to believe everyone feels the same? — is quite because of the nature of our soul. it longs for the Creator, and its been placed in a foreign world, a different reality than where it came from. we were never from this place, and the materialisation of this physical self came with a permanent void in our hearts. i wholeheartedly believe (d?) this. and so thats why, these thought cant ever go away for good. and thats why, i will always be subjected to the gravity of this blackhole, floating in emptiness, waiting to be sucked in at any time. any time i forget. any time i lose sight of the Creator

stability thru action - the stop spinning plan

call me out, yes, i romanticise (i hate to admit this) my dark thoughts, i write them down, i know i should fight them, i write about fighting them. do i fight them?…maybe? i write so i dont fall into this so called void but i still keep it close, like a familiar companion ive made part of my self identity. i mean, come on. reflection can only do so much. it gets to a point. reflection is maybe a step closer to movement, but it is NOT movement. and that’s why, with it should come actions and i m now making a plan for it. im calling it the stop spinning plan. 
act instead of spiral 🌀 
  • praying on time
  • daily quran - minimum of 1 to 2 pages daily
  • weekly act of service - message a friend/ cook or bring food to friends/ call family. do one thing for someone else. 
  • physical movement at least 3x a week. i used to have a perfectionist mindset. i should only do pilates every day bc if i skip one day then i lose all motivation, and dont do it at all for the rest of the week. 
  • limit mental spiraling time. writing is fine. but, be aware of how much time i could waste overthinking in the disguise of reflection
