"If I were you, I'd take issue with that..."




The separate spheres of life are meant to revolve? Rotate? Orbit? There is some sort of mathematical/scientific word for what round things do, when they hang out, but don't collide.

That word, is what should, ideally, be happening in your life with the really big stuff. Profession v. Personal. Paycheck v. Pleasure. What you DO to live and HOW you live are part of the same system but don't belong on the same path. I give you this- they can pace each other. Travel at the same speed and make transfer. Collaborate rather than collide. They don't have to intersect or touch to make this transfer. Everything just needs to be timed appropriately and given a respectful amount of distance. Transfer should be tasteful and with good judgment. You shouldn't slosh your work gravity all over your personal life with the same respect that you wouldn't drag your personal burdens into work life.

It throws the system out of whack. It'll make your life a giant crushed ball of chaos and misery spinning off course and while you're scrambling to create some sort of damage control you'll come to the realization that you don't even RECOGNIZE yourself. You don't even recognize the components of your life that have created this... HOT MESS. Who the fuck are you? And where the fuck did your life go?

The only real job you have in life is to just be happy. Get happy with yourself. And if someone is UNhappy with the version of yourself that is trying to get happy... then they are tuned into the wrong dimension. Fuck them.

In my personal experience your spiritual (or philosophical) sphere is the largest so it needs the most space and it can either take up all your energy or if you are very lucky is the source of your energy. I do not advise that you tamper with that dynamic. If your faith in humanity and the divine can either drain you entirely and leave you dark or ignite your ability to happily participate in society and allow you to shine...

Who would WANT to gamble with that balance?!

The world already offers so many chances to test our faith. You shouldn't want to invite any other opportunities to rattle your ZONE. You know? There are far larger problems in the world than having to worry about your worlds colliding.

Worlds are already colliding.

One day you're going to campaign for a candidate that is going to piss your mom off. You're going to date someone that really is exactly like your father. You're going to post something on Twitter and discover the majority of your friends don't agree with your point of view. Or worse, you'll have a bad day because your mom is mad, your dad is jerk, your boyfriend is even MORE of a jerk, your friends don't get you AND WORK SUCKED so you make the mistake of posting something on Facebook along the lines of, "AAAAAAAAAAAAARGHFUCK YOUALLWHATTHEFUCKHELLBALLS!" But a co-worker/"friend" is going to tell your boss that you were being unprofessional on your personal profile...

And on those days, your life, worlds all-a-collision-course, is so damn outta control that you only get one space, only place to retreat to.

And if it is sullied by some shit storm unnatural force that doesn't belong in your spiritual sphere... well then.

You are royally fucked and you need to learn how to guard your private spaces with more caution.


Battle ready, and thicker skinned, you're gonna learn.
