THE THINGS YOU DENY DON'T DISAPPEAR
Posted: 2026-08-23 14:14:02
You can teach yourself not to want.
You can become very good at it.
You can call it discipline.
Call it maturity.
Call it enlightenment.
But desire has patience.
It can wait beneath years of obedience.
It can become a thought.
Then a dream.
Then a silence you don't understand.
Then one ordinary afternoon,
you realize the thing you buried
never actually died.
It was only waiting for you
to become quiet enough to hear it again.
