I think it’s really useful/helpful to have a wide range of depth that youre willing/able to meet people Ideally as close to the surface and as close to the core are extremes you can both freely wade between; Not being stuck in being very deep or very shallow but always free

What ceasefires are to world peace, Inner-ceasefires are to inner-peace May we all enjoy inner-peace and well being ❤️🙏
>"the main sensation is that the moment i choose to wish for good things, it acts like a ceasefire inside me, for at least 10min i opt out of being judgemental/mean to myself or others" i love aline's journaling here about her exploration of metta practice!

Def an essential ingredient to “making it” as an artist (or probably in any field to some extent) is belief in yourself Do YOU believe your shit is dope? Bc if not, why would anyone else ?

Had a dream where one of my fav living bass players suggested I mix some more “chatty” lines into my playing, as opposed to punchy , logical statements, which he said I was already good at it

Tag yourself boys
Dr. Jung once told me that any man who comes into your consulting room will either be 21 or 45 years of age no matter his chronological age because his problems will be that he can't get into life or can't get out of life. Those are the only 2 problems a man ever has.~RA Johnson

I see other people call the latter the former a lot, which often annoys me
projection? sure but i call that “making educated guesses about social reality and holding them lightly”

Ofc everyone projects sometimes! But it is strange to assume by default that that is what’s happening for another person
