Being nice is too tiring anyway.

Every time I wake up I just want to go back to sleep

I like this.
It's basically intended to those who feel tired of being who they are (the person stuck in a job, the person who doesn't feel their life went like they had hoped).
It's saying that the more you wake up saying "ugh, I hate my life I hate who/what I am" etc. The more you find that motivation and desire to change to what you WANT to be.
Makes sense?

So how do I refill my emotional tank? I already do a lot of the things on the right, like spending quality alone time and staying away from people that drain my energy… but that “signs your emotional tank is empty” section hits too close to home…

I guess basically be yourself. "The longer you spend being yourself, the less you will want to be anyone else" I guess...?

Reply to [image] If he could see his nothingness and his deadly, festering wound, pain would arise from looking within, and that pain would save him. - Rumi by bentschji
For anyone interested in the full poem:
Delusion is a divine curse that makes someone envious, conceited, malicious, so that he doesn’t know the evil he does will strike him back.
If he could see his nothingness and his deadly, festering wound, pain would arise from looking within, and that pain would save him.

I don't get it
It only has two parts so why not include the first half:
"Delusion is a divine curse that makes someone envious, conceited, malicious, so that he doesn’t know the evil he does will strike him back.
If he could see his nothingness and his deadly, festering wound, pain would arise from looking within, and that pain would save him."
It's interesting but I wouldn't call it particularly motivational. Motivation is kind of the art of delusion.

ngl I thought this was Elden Beast at first glance.
I am not Elden Beast, and I can completely bear not being Elden Beast.
