Don't think, feel! ...Wait, I'm thinking about it right now.
Comparing yourself to others, comparing yourself to the success the world defines, thinking every day about what to do to fill in what you lack. But you don't even know what you should do, or what you want to do. Of course you don't — because there's no meaning in it. Even if you copy the story of someone who multiplied their income tenfold or moved abroad, is that really what you want? Here's what I've realized. Making a simple breakfast for yourself, tasting how good it is, and the time it takes until you've cleared away the dishes — whether you have that every day or not, the richness of your heart is completely different. That's time spent not thinking, but feeling. Not trying to fill something, but feeling everything — that's what I want to write about, that it matters.
