What's up HIVE! Been a minute since my last update, I won't make the excuse of being super busy, but rather the thing is I had a poorly scheduled week over the past week and so many hours were just spent doing really nothing, but yeah it happens sometimes, of course perfection is only an ideal we will live to chase after but I think the beauty is accepting that sometimes yeah there will be those days where we wish things turned out different, a better different but they just don't.
I am working on a tribute page for the 18th-Century German Philosopher Immanuel Kant, who was a central figure in modern philosophy, which I will be sharing with you guys sometimes in the course of the week.
But for today, how about I share a few Quotes from Friedrich Nietzsche. Anyone can learn something from these quotes, more so those who are interested in being - creatives, innovators, autonomous individuals or trying to partake a path towards self-discovery and self-awareness.

“But I need solitude--which is to say, recovery, return to myself, the breath of a free, light, playful air.”

Being an INFJ this is one of the quotes I identify with. I get the fact that we are social animals, but unfortunately for the likes of me too much social interaction is the perfect course to me loosing myself, as a result of Extraverted Feeling - your feelings matter more than mine, which results into forgetting about my needs and a entering a spiral of feeling lost and not anchored. Solitude is the way for me to anchor, go back to myself, introspect and prevent myself from completely losing myself in others...

“He who cannot obey himself will be commanded. That is the nature of living creatures.”

Lack of self-awareness cascades into a lack of autonomy in one's life. Which translates into living a life of not one's choosing but a dictated one by those who can see the potential the individual is ignorant of, a true path towards existing rather than leaving, and one way to leading a despondent life, full of anguish and pain...
“No price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.”

“You must be ready to burn yourself in your own flame. How could you rise anew if you have not first become ashes?”
A Phoenix
For the rebirth of the (new and improved) 😂 individual, one must be willing to undergo through the reintegration of the lost aspects of the individual, a rather painful experience, but an important one, for those who manage just like the mythological phoenix emerge as new and reinvigorated...
