Marigold Mind Laundry

Perhaps the only thing we never have to work for is the morning, which comes around to greet us every day.

Outside the window, the weather is beyond our control. The sun will rise and set every day, sometimes there’ll be rain, and at night the moon and stars light up the sky blanketed by the darkness, and when the night gives way to dawn, it’ll be yet another day. There’s nothing we can do to change what’s outside, but we can choose the weather in our heart. Our feelings are ours to decide, and there’s always happiness within us. The weather in our heart is ours, and ours alone.

In life, nothing is forever. Not the darkness, nor the light.

Perhaps we fail to notice the morning moon because we're only ever looking for the sun.

To feel the pain means you've done your best and followed your heart.

That’s just how life is. When there’s a difficult situation ahead of us, we wonder – how can we possibly get through this? Yet in times of peace, we’re somewhat anxious. What’s wrong? Why isn’t anything happening? We’re always doubting life. If you’re feeling that way, come to the mind laundry. Come chat with us. Just by sharing your thoughts, it’ll feel as though a stain is being rubbed away from your heart and you’ll walk away feeling lighter.

Family is no big deal, my dears. So many of us wish we could cut off our family members who get into trouble all the time and make life difficult for everyone else – if only we weren’t bound by blood! They give us only worry and hate, yet because they’re family, we can’t help but have expectations, only to get hurt or inflict hurt when they fall short.

The strength to live is not linked to how much or little we possess. Unless we’re talking about the power to bounce back from sadness or to praise ourselves for having made it through a day.

Don’t bother about what others think. Prioritize yourself. When things get tough, go somewhere nice, treat yourself to a holiday. If you’re angry, don’t hold it in. Eat something delicious to de-stress. Learn to live for yourself, not for anyone else. Life is more beautiful than you think. Life’s worth living.’ ‘Life’s worth living?

(...) wydaje mi się, że z sercem jest trochę jak z przedmiotami: zużywa się, jeśli często do niego sięgamy, by roztrząsać wszelkie bolączki. Moje jest już chyba tak sponiewierane, że zupełnie straciło swój kształt.

No era más que una niña pequeña batiendo sus alas para seguir en el aire, cuando lo único que quedaba de ella era una cáscara vacía

By choosing to be happy, even when the days are full of thunderstorms, the gentle moonlight in our hearts can still bring about peace. By choosing to love, our hearts are filled.

[...]...il sole scompare dietro la linea dell'orizzonte, ma i suoi raggi continuano a tingere il cielo di un rosso acceso. L'oscurità non inizia subito dopo il tramonto; il sole continua a brillare; nonostante non sia più visibile, la sua luce persiste. Proprio così, luce e oscurità sono parti della stessa realtà. Anche quando sembra che ci sia solo buio, la luce continua a brillare debolmente.[...] pag.
