Time and Emotions


Sunday March 8 - many states return to Daylight Saving Time. This should lighten your mood if you suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder - a.k.a. SAD - part of the 'depression umbrella'.


We all know that reality and the 'human experiment in emotions' is a journey of self-searching and self-worth. Feelings make everything real but also cause confusion.


Should you love yourself? Shouldn't you love yourself? Are you worthy? You are who you are and trying your best to make sense of reality and your place in it.


If you understand the simulation - and that we are all programmed to everything we do - then you'll never wonder - you'll just live it.


Your soul is forever influenced by the many aspects of itself experiencing in places you don't even know exist - along with your programming in this little speck of reality. Location: Physical Earth. Timeline: 21st Century - as humans are taught to mark events with their timepieces.


If you're feeling lost and confused about what to do next - never forget that your destiny "is" set in stone (programmed), therefore the next part of your journey will be shown to you no matter what.


The one thing we all have in common is that a final destiny in this simulation, narrative, story of reality, is unfolding, and therefore all roads are going to lead you to that end. Tick Tock!
