Good friends

How do you know it’s deep? When you meet each other after a long time, it feels as if you saw each other yesterday. It feels like routine, with a little warmth inside. You know the good and the bad. It’s predictable but holds interesting updates.

Why it’s deep? because you’ve been to a lot together. Many times you didn’t choose each other, someone else did it for you, but the result is shared values, memories and experiences. Good times and many bad times. Everyone is an open book. No one tries to hide anything. No one can or wants to hide something.

When meeting a group of people with deep connection, there’s a special energy for that. People around this group can also feel it. The trust is high, the laughs are contagious.

You might feel tired after these meetings, but on a deeper level, it fills your battery. It strengthen the core that support your long term energy, not the daily one.

It’s valuable because there are no shortcuts. It’s deep because it’s deep. If it’s shallow, it will never be deep.

She looked at the sky through the window

She came from school and sat in the kitchen

She looked at the sky through the window

The blue skies opened her eyes, and white clouds expended her smile

A bird came and sat on the window, closing its eyes, enjoying the sun bath

A tear dropped

She was confused

The calmness and happiness of the moment opened her heart

Her open heart let the sadness come out

She felt tired, but in peace

She looked at the sky through the window

Don’t

Be in a room with two different sources of music

Walk in too much sun and too much humid heat

Move too quickly from a quiet to a noisy environment

Wait too much avoiding dealing with shit that makes you feel bad

Ask too many existential questions. Or too little

Fast. I know what they say. Just don’t

Be in a room with people that suck all the air out

Be too busy

Be afraid to be alone

Don’t be afraid of double negative

Be a part of something bigger

Be a part of something bigger than you.

Be proud of your parents and grandparents. Know their story.

No need to be strong all the time. It’s a long road. It started before you and will continue on.

You’re doing your best. You’re doing a good job. You are not alone.

What did your past generations deal with? what did they accomplish?

Your day to day, things that take you off track, impact your well-being – some of them are so small in this chain.

Remind yourself – you are a part of something bigger, something good. Be active and contribute. Be proud of your contribution to this chain.
