Words I live by courtesy of Prophet James Baldwin To be sensual, I think, is to respect and rejoice in the force of life, of life itself, and to be present in all that one does, from the effort of loving to the breaking of bread. -- Have learned that many prefer not to be present, therefore they miss all that really matters and get hung up on all things stupid and superficial, leading to perpetual self-doubt, depression, and anxiety. “Love takes off the masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within. I use the word love here not merely in the personal sense but as a state of being, or a state of grace - not in the infantile American sense of being made happy but in the tough and universal sense of quest and daring and growth.” -- Have learned that many become very comfortable behind masks and the pursuit of happiness, which like any intoxication, wears off. So whats left? Whatevers behind the mask. And if you dont love it fiercely in the way that Prophet James describes above, you live in a constant state of chaos and bullshit, leading to perpetual self-doubt, depression, and anxiety.
