A courtyard of bamboo and late-night snow

a lone lantern a book on the table

if I hadn’t encountered the teaching of no effort

how else could I have gained this life of leisure

    I’ve tried keeping an offline journal, but it’s never worked out really. I still feel embarrassed of putting my thoughts onto paper for some reason, and I also felt that I didn’t have enough interesting things happen that’d be worth noting. I write a lot of poetry, and I feel the same there. It’s gotten a bit better, but it’s weird how embarrassing it still feels to make your feelings “known” in a different way. Especially because I never doubt my feelings or feel embarrassed about them as long as they stay inside my brain haha.
