Because everyone deserves a pat on the back and it’s as nice to feel appreciated as it is to be inspired by a friend’s accomplishments. It’s simple ! Too many of us are straying from the core tenets of peace and love in this antisocial modern age.
That don’t devalue your own personhood as a byproduct (ie “thanks for being my friend)
- It is a gift to be alive at the same time as you
- You‘re cozy like grilled cheese
- I feel refreshed after time spent with you
- With you by my side, I don’t feel so alone.
- I appreciate that I can be myself around you!
- I bet dogs that don’t know you wag their tails when you walk by
This is kinda an aspirational rec because I need to get better at this. But even just tiny things like when someone asks the DJ to play ur fave song without u knowing… feels lovely to be known etc etc
stretching daily is, to me, where simply surviving ends and LIVING begins. I’m bad at being good about it, but I’m currently making a real effort to do it every single day.
