"A Strange Moment of Clarity While Staring at a Tree"

As I was looking at a tree, a thought came to my mind.

Go and consume social media!!!!!

I was like, wait a second.

The wind was blowing faster, and I could feel the freshness.

I could feel that calmness within.

Then I said to myself,

Why would I go back and not live this fully?

Somehow, I was feeling this intense desire to go back and grab my phone.

But because I was under nature’s eyes, or you can call it under calmness,

I didn’t move an inch.

I was just there, lost in my own thoughts.

Trying to figure out why this intense feeling.

Why do I want to consume so badly?

As I am writing this, I don’t have all the answers, but, what I have is clarity.

The clarity that I call awareness.

I was not forcing myself to avoid social media—I was simply ignoring it.

Ignoring it as if it was not mine.

To just do what I want to do, not what my thoughts say I should do.

By this, I understood: I am not my thoughts. I am much bigger than that.

And why always obey everything your mind says?

Why not challenge it sometimes?

That’s how, I believe, we go beyond it.

Beyond the boundaries of thought.

But your opinion about this?
