Hello.

Welcome to my blog.

I'm Rima and I've been posting on Hive for about 8 months now. Maybe you know me, maybe you don't, but what I'm sure of is that we all, at some point, start an endless circle of harmful thoughts that lead us to nothing if we don't do something about it. And it will be just that experience that will serve as a meeting point. I invite you to read me and to let me read you too.

It's 7 pm, the weather has been in constant indecision all day long, it doesn't know whether to pour rain or show the clearest sky, this is making me feel an uncomfortable humidity in the atmosphere. After seeing the time on my watch I let out a sigh that I still can't identify if it's relief, despair, or disenchantment. I feel like the weather... Should it rain or shouldn't it, it should be half raining or pouring?

Have you been like the weather?

I set about preparing dinner, while my mind travels back in time and wanders between questions, reactions, and actions that are no longer relevant. What would have been if this or that? A bad question to ask yourself at almost any time. Good or bad, there is no such thing as what would I have done when what happens is what is meant to be. I let out another sigh and have found the first answer.

The "what would have been" works when you use it to decide about the present, not to act as your tormentor punishing you and making you feel bad about everything you should have done differently. What's done is done.

... dinner is ready. I take my first bite.

Here and now the decisions are already made and from them, the next changes will be built. A word is easy to pronounce and difficult to assimilate. When we are told about generating changes we tend to act as if we have everything under control when in reality there is nothing more false than that. There are no lives without change.

Changes in your environment, in your day, in the weather (even if it is sometimes wavering) in the world, in the planet, in your cells, in your life.

There is no point in getting into a circle of thoughts that lead to dead ends when the only way out is to stop thinking so much and do. Thought without action when it is good may not go beyond words, while if it is bad it can become a cactus that will slowly grow inside your mind to crash its thorns against you and hurt you.

I let out the last sigh in that session of excessive thoughts that almost became a cactus. Finally, something has been done, I think convinced.

Do you have a cactus?

Thanks for stopping by.

With love,

Rima.
