The seduction of the familiar...

There is a strength and weakness that lives in every single one of us.

Where we seek that which feels recognizable.

Our mind is tuned to it and no matter what it is we fall into the trap of its allure.

And that’s all good and dandy when it’s the nice things.

Which makes us miss when that seduction is toward negative feelings, emotions, and states.

Like pain and suffering.

We can’t accept that it could happen but it does.

The familiar trumps all because the mind likes what it thinks it knows.

Even when it’s tormenting us.

In the moment it will be always harder to recognize especially when the pull is great. Yet on the off chance you do, remember the familiar is only home to your mind's predictions not what you truly are.

Until the next ❤️ beat ~.~.~
