mind and meaning - soulcruzer

I asked this question a couple of years ago. I would rephrase the question now. The world definitely doesn’t owe you a meaning. You have to make it for yourself. It’s built slowly from the choices you make that compound over time. You can be free without direction. You can have direction without freedom. What really matters, though, is whether you can wake up and choose the same life again.

QOTD: In a world that offers no inherent meaning, how can we cultivate a life of authentic purpose, balancing the freedom to choose our path with the responsibilities and consequences that freedom entails?

the key

i’ve spent too many years
lost in the darkness of my mind
heart separated from soul

and then i met you
the key between the two
and the world opened up

like it must have done for
magellan stumbling through
the strait that now bears his name

How Your Brain Controls the Speed of Time

Since the brain estimates the passage of time by how much information is stored within a given interval, richer memories make it feel like more time has passed.
