You are allowed to completely change as a person by the way. You don’t have to stay trapped in the versions other people created of you.

trust that everything will fall into place without you forcing it there.
With his signature wit and profound wisdom, Alan Watts gently reminds us that our best intentions can sometimes unknowingly create chaos. True kindness means understanding the nature of others and honoring their way of being, rather than imposing our own beliefs about what’s “good” for them.
In helping others, let’s first learn to truly listen, observe, and respect their path, so our “help” doesn’t become an unintended burden. After all, even kindness requires mindfulness.
* For Alan Watts, kindness in action stems from a profound understanding of the interconnectedness of all beings and the "myth of the ego-in-a-bag-of-skin". It involves recognizing that the self is not a separate entity but a part of the whole, which inspires compassionate action that honors the way others exist rather than imposing one's own beliefs. True kindness, therefore, is an authentic empathy that extends to both self and others, bridging mere good intentions with genuine understanding and leading to inner peace.
Key Aspects of Kindness in Action According to Watts
Universal Awareness: Watts believed that everyone is connected, and the self is not a separate entity. This realization fosters a deep, authentic empathy for others.
Understanding, Not Imposing: Kindness involves truly listening, observing, and respecting another's path without imposing your own beliefs or ideas about what is "good" for them.
Honoring Others' Existence: Instead of trying to change or "fix" people, genuine kindness accepts and honors their inherent way of being.
Self-Compassion as a Foundation: The relationship with oneself is foundational. To be truly kind to others, one must first practice self-kindness, extending patience and acceptance to their own inner world.
Action Beyond Good Intentions: Watts highlighted the paradox where good intentions, without true understanding, can sometimes create chaos. Therefore, kindness in action requires mindfulness and conscious effort to understand.
Cultivating Inner Peace: By embracing this deeper understanding of self and other, one can bridge the gap between intentions and authentic empathy, cultivating genuine relationships and a lasting inner peace.

❤︎ sweet reminder ❤︎ you are doing better than you give yourself credit for.
Stop watering dead flowers. Pull them out from the root. Nurture the soil. Plant new seeds. Create your own garden. Nourish them with water and sunlight. Care for them, but give them space and time to grow. The fruits of your labour may take years to bloom and blossom. But what you plant now, will provide and feed you for the rest of your life.
(I’m not really talking about flowers)

Meditation is simple. It is so simple that we invent all kinds of complications to make it more interesting. In zen, we like to get dressed up in robes, chant, bow, drink tea, and then sit in rows, on cushions, on mats, facing a wall. To meditate though, all you need is a mind and a few minutes to check it out.
A simple meditation technique involves counting breaths. The breath is a great focus for meditation, because it is always there. Whether we are meditating or not, we are breathing. In breath counting meditation, we notice our breath going in and going out and at the end of each exhale, we count. It takes about two minutes to breathe in and out twenty times. So, for a two minute meditation, simply count twenty breaths. Breathe in, breathe out, one. Breathe in, breathe out, two, and so on up to twenty...read more
How to Create a Winning Relationship
1. Don’t rush things. Take the time to really get to know each other.
2. Focus on positivity rather than negativity. Getting angry quickly or being harsh and critical will undermine and ruin even strong relationships. In contrast, being kind and gentle will help develop love.
3. Appreciate the little things the other person does. Don’t overlook their efforts; don’t just expect their help.
4. Enjoy the ways you’re different – and not clones of one another. It makes things interesting (and creates healthy space).
5. Don’t get into a rut so that you’re bored when you’re together. Keeping doing something different, or keep trying something new.
6. Learn how to be listener, someone who’s understanding, and helps their partner open up and share what’s bothering them.
7. Be loyal and committed, so trust can be established - that helps you both feel safe, and it will grow a strong, deep love.
(it's a gradual process)
