what's happening friends? I just released a new song over on my music channel, it would mean the world to me if you checked it out and shared it with a pal if it's your jam! :) ! kzread.info/dash/bejne/jH93qNVmqdbMnLg.html

"10% of life is what happens to you. 90% of life is how you react to it." These old sayings always hold true!

I'm 57 years old, gay, single - just recently lost both of my parents AND two of my oldest and dearest friends in the world. I just recently went on disability - and in a day or two I have an appointment with an oncologist. - Yeah, I feel like life's bitch-slapped me - BUT I've lost over a hundred pounds, I look great and at my age and with my limitations, I'm putting myself out there again despite it all, trying to meet people, or maybe even that special person. My adventure is just beginning -

thank you for sharing

“Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.” Franklin Delano Roosevelt

I thought today about how unfair life is. I would just like a lil bit of health to be able to work and chase my dreams. Am I asking too much from life? Paying for your health care sucks. Getting fired cause you're always sick sucks. But I can't sit on my bed and just cry forever, so I try to push on. After all I have people I love who won't let me become homeless thank God.

Keep on truckin'. You have inherent value whether or not you produce things or make money.

One thing I know after a year living in my car is. Fasting does keep you healthy. It is THE ONE thing I’ve done consistently and I’m in perfect health and take nothing at 60. Sadly. Living in the car is getting to my mental health tho 😞. All the best 🙌💕

Adversity, ( difficulty ) is THE greatest teacher. Thank you so much, needed this one. Storms Always pass, the Sun will come out. Thank you David

aw cheers friend, happy to have you here :)

Just an advice: don't give up on the car! Mine broke down at a time I really couldn't dedicate myself to dealing with it, and it eventually got towed away as trash! Now I have to figure out how to buy a new one, and it will cost a lot more money and energy. Sounds trivial but can be a real challenge sometimes.

Thanks a lot David! Ur a beautiful human and u deserve the best

I'll get jealous of people who never pause to think why things are and just do what needs to be done in the material realm to make things happen, but then I check my ego and realize just because I ask deeper questions doesn't mean I'm more effective in this world (if anything trying to be deep is just a distraction). The less I judge people who I perceive as shallow, the more I realize that to an extent, being too intellectual or 'spiritual' about everything is a crutch. We came to this world to live in it, not think about it too much. There's not that much useful things you can do with higher knowledge or theories that will actually add value to your physical life unless you're an academic or some kind of professional theist like a preacher or something.

I try to work on balance of the mind(intellectualism/ego), body(how I take care of it with diet/exercise/stress/sleep) and the soul(love/relationships/nature/kindness). I have never been more content with this awareness...

What's happening is life and the technology that is coming between our every move now of days. It's not all together healthy for any of us, yet we still continue to use these tools. We are all in denial. Denial is the hardest thing for any one person to admit, and when we hear the word, we run and hide, and keep it to ourselves. We all need continual therapy. Life is a therapy session itself, whether we want to admit it or not. Just like it was once said long, long ago by one wise man, "desire causes suffering." It will always hold true, yet we still do the opposite of and contradict ourselves...don't we? We are stubborn people that are terrified to face real reality. That's just the cold hard truth of existence. What's next is all...and sooner or later, there will be no next, unless there is a higher power that did give us a soul to continue...but who knows but the dead? Do they know? IDK? I know alot of things, but really don't know anything at all. Take care everyone. It's all we can do, unless we choose the opposite. To each their own...🌗

Greatly spoken... Thats the truth: people are terrified to face reality.💯 They always create stories around themeselfs... They fear hardship... And this is exactly the wrong direction... Bc it cuts off your energy and vitality...

Respect the mechanic 👍

The first ten seconds was true!

Being mindful is fine...but three months forward...time / space..helps 70% manageable, 30 % sucks. Daily....world's upside down.. So, Deal with the suck...and move forward.... impermanence is real, it will change.

Really appreciate you. 🙌💕

You know, I think it might come down to a mix between *bad* Propaganda and attention being less easy to keep because we are doing phone and computer stuff.
