Interesting vinyl I saw at the auction. Didn't get it but campy. #hollywood #badgirl #vinyl

Be okay with not getting what you want right away. Be okay with things staying as they are.

That may be easier said than done, but strangely there is also a certain sense of peace that comes along with giving up the fight.

When you've been trying to FORCE something to happen quickly, you are expending a LOT of mental and emotional energy! As a result you end up feeling worn out and depleted.

On the other hand, surrendering to the universe's higher wisdom and letting go inspires a sense of calm detachment and peace in the present moment. You realize that you're still okay, even without this thing you want so desperately.

Letting go does not mean you won't get what you want. It means you are choosing to know that you're okay without it right NOW. It means that the arrival of it will be a great bonus, but your inner peace and well-being are not dependent upon it.

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage

“When I saw her I was in love with her. Everything turned over inside of me. She looked toward the door, saw there was no one, then she sat on the side of the bed and leaned over and kissed me.” ― Ernest Hemingway, A Farewell to Arms
