"It's all raw material for waking up. You can use numbers, mushiness, and self-pity even - it doesn't matter what it is - as long as you can go deeper, underneath the story line. That's where you connect with what it is to be human, and that's where the joy and well-being come from - from the sense of being real and seeing realness in others."
-Pema Chodron, from Start Where You Are: A Guide to Compassionate Living.
I will take the self-pity and the sadness, the fun-filled moments and the stressful screaming and just wake up with the real.
From urbandictionary.com:
2." keeping it real"
Staying true to yourself, your faith, your life and constantly seeking the truth.
You are keeping it real as long as you do not harm yourself or anyone around you physically mentally or spiritually.
You try to benefit the environment and society that surrounds you and eventually serving humanity for the greater good.
By keeping it real you are authentic and do not follow the geopolitical or corporate economic norm, but you strive to develop a norm that is centered on peace, truth, and unity.
