You are not your mind

You are not the mess that's in your head. You are not the background noise that disrupts your peace. You are not the thoughts you have, nor are you the actions you take.

Nothing can define YOU. All of this chaos that clouds our worlds & clouds our mind.. is not "who we are" & it can't determine that for us. None of our thoughts make us who we are, positive or negative.
We simply ARE. Not even YOU can define you. Maybe there is no definition & maybe there was never meant to be.

Just some things I'm learning that I wanted to share. I genuinely wanna know more about myself & not just on a surface level, I mean my innermost being & sense of self. I suppose a start is accepting that we are not who we think we are. We just ARE & that's it. The sooner we stop identifying with our thoughts & feelings, the more we realize that letting them define who we are, is killing off our true sense of self

the mess that's in your head, the background noise that disrupts your peace, the thoughts you have, the actions you take. May not be us, but they do shape the way we become. I think our souls are eternal.

@Lostpoet I had an argument about this with someone years ago. I argued the same thing you said. That it may not be who we are but it does shape who we become. I don't know if I view it the same way anymore. I think it simply shapes the way we view ourselves, or the way others view us.. maybe not who we really are. But I could be wrong
