Lent
Dear tumblr,
I’m giving you up for Lent. I think of all the happy hours I spend whiling away with you, but then also of all the other things that I ought to be attending. This is a difficult decision, but a constructive one.
I’m wondering how productive I might be in the next 40 days. Hopefully I won’t just turn to some other form of procrastination.
Don’t worry, I’ll check in with you on Sundays.
Sincerely,
Abby

“Everything is empty of itself. Take a piece of paper, for example. There is no paper in that piece of paper. There is wood pulp, dye, water, air, space, time. The wood pulp is the tree, the tree is the earth, the rain, the sunshine, the passage of time. The rain is the clouds and the air and water from all over the planet. The sunshine is the sun, the sun is made of what all other stars are made of. The paper is empty of itself, but full of the entire universe, and so are you. You are not you. You are everything that has come together to make you, all of which has their origins in the beginning of the universe. You feel lonely because you perceive yourself as separate. But you are an integral part of the universe and you encapsulate the universe at the same time. The universe as we know it simply would not exist if you were not alive. There is no need to feel lonely or worthless. You are already made of all the love that has ever been expressed since the beginning of time. I am happy, so I am happy with you. I love, so I love you. Don’t worry, you’re all right.”
