Bio

Hey, I'm Percy. I joined 7 Cups as a listener because I wanted to become the person I needed when I was struggling. I believe everyone is deserving of a place to simply "be" without receiving judgment, criticism, or advice.

Embracing sadness
Reading & Writing / by Percy9

...See more Hi fellow book-lovers, I've been making it through Rilke's Letters to a Young Poet recently and wondering why I put off reading it for so many years. Many of the passages in this book have moved me, given me wisdom, or comforted me. In one letter, Rilke explains that sadness can bring along new changes, which he hopes will make us look inward at our transformation with curiosity and awe. I found this passage very impactful: "Were it possible for us to see further than our knowledge reaches, and yet a little way beyond the outworks of our divining, perhaps we would endure our sadnesses with greater confidence than our joys. For they are the moments when something new has entered into us, something unknown; our feelings grow mute in shy complexity, everything in us withdraws, a stillness comes, and the new, which no one knows, stands in the midst of it and is silent."

...See more Wanted to share this quote from Walden by Henry David Thoreau, wherein he explains the reason he lived alone in the woods for two years. I often come back to this book when I need to be reminded of modern life's tendency to over-complicate matters. “I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practice resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms...”

I feel like he's been helpful with listening and letting me vent. He's made me feel like I have someone to talk to who won't make me feel like my feelings don't matter and I really appreciate that.
