Life Cycles

"Life is amazing. And then it's awful. And then it's amazing again. And in between the amazing and awful it's ordinary and mundane and routine.

Breathe in the amazing, hold on through the awful, and relax and exhale during the ordinary.

That's just living heartbreaking, soul-healing, amazing, awful, ordinary life. And it's breathtakingly beautiful."

L.R. knost

2025/10/21 Edited to

Life truly is a series of cycles, each with its own emotional landscape that shapes our experiences. From moments of incredible joy to times of hardship and the stretches of normalcy in between, understanding these phases can help us better cope with life’s ups and downs. The amazing times fill us with hope and inspiration, while the awful moments challenge our resilience and provide opportunities for growth. The ordinary, often overlooked, acts as the foundation that stabilizes life and allows us to recharge. One effective way to embrace these cycles is mindfulness—being fully present in each moment without judgment. When life feels amazing, savor the joy and let it elevate you. During difficult times, allow yourself to feel emotions without resistance, knowing that these moments are temporary. In the ordinary routines, practice gratitude and relaxation to maintain balance. Connecting with others who understand these life dynamics can also be healing, as sharing stories and support builds community and resilience. Remember, the ebb and flow of life is what makes it breathtakingly beautiful, offering continual opportunities for heartbreak, healing, and transformation.

Most cycles don’t continue because we choose them.

They continue because they feel familiar. Because we learned early how to: • read the room • stay understanding • carry emotional weight quietly • wait to need less instead of asking for more None of this makes you weak. It makes you someone who adapted without consistent safety. This isn’t

🍭I start off with the✨BLURTING METHOD✨ 1. Look at your notes, some people look at videos, or wherever you can find the information. For example it’s the Kreb’s cycle: Copy it and write it down on a piece of paper! 2. Write and re-write it until you start to remember the steps of the cycle!
