Relentless self-scrutiny is not so easily changed. Obsessive inner discomfort can be compulsive and bring feelings of shame with oneself.
Inner Discomfort
Familiar Feeling
Regret was a familiar feeling, a comfortable blur of thoughts that felt hopeless.
Reason For Hope
Good or bad, there's every reason for hope in this existence.
Don’t Compare
Don't compare. It can move you to regret.
Clean Slate
Spend time on the good and keep going past those old hurts. I want to be in peace with a clean slate.
Insatiable Curiosity
This insatiable curiosity I have is a rambling one.
Humanness
Humanness itself is sometimes pain.
New Era
Just when you thought the story is at an end, how lovely. A new era begun: I am slowly, beginning to delight again in living, my heart pouring out, and my dreams better.
The Common
The common have the happiest of lives, lucky in friends and in humanity.
Mere Ghost
It's true, I was afflicted with work, I assure you it obscured the heart. I had become a mere ghost.
