The world is extremely fast paced and sometimes we forget to breathe. Take a break every once in a while. Take your time while eating. Take your time while having a conversation. Listen to what the person in front of you is saying. Let it sit in your head for a bit and then give your answer. Cherish little moments. Once in a while reply to all the memes your friend might've sent you. Call up your loved ones. Walk slower, chew slower, breathe slower, read slower, scroll slower, write slower, type slower, drive slower. Do one thing at a time. Listen to an entire album while paying attention to every sound, every lyric. Listen to the crickets at night, the birds in the day... I guess I should stop now

Plant your feet. Take a deep breath. Wiggle your toes. Close your eyes. Feel the sun. Listen carefully. Cry a little. Play with your hair. Write it down. Ask why. Be human! Smile! Or donβt! Just be!

If you have a moment alone and are able to convince yourself not to rush. It feels really good to take a nonsensical path, slow and deliberate, and listen to the trees and spirits you come across, and not gaf if people think you move like a crazy person (helps to do it at night, but be safe always). Release yourself from the social norm of moving like you're always late for an errand

This takes less than a minute. I do this mostly when Iβm in nature or other beautiful surroundings. I say one thing I observe in the environment for each of the five senses. For example, I smell the salty ocean air, I feel the breeze on my face, I hear the birds singing, etc. Doing this causes me to slow down and really take in the present moment.

Tl;dr I am just talking about how I was lucky to not grow up as an incel
Growing up I had no role models and so, me getting out of that alt right mysogynist pipeline was because 13 y/o me saw a video about Nirvana. A few years ago I was part of a subreddit where mostly older girls and ladies were and as I would read their comments i realised the many wrong things i was doing everyday which could end up hurting someone if they ever got together with me. A few weeks ago, i saw a reel where a girl was talking about how frustrating it was when guys ignored menial tasks like throwing socks in laundry and I realised, "oh! I do this sometimes" and ever since I saw it, anytime I ignore such things, i immediately remember that reel and all the comments on it and I just do the whole thing because I don't want to be an asshole because of my ignorance which was a result of me growing up in an environment which enabled my shitty behaviour.
I feel like I was lucky in this sense because I inadvertently came across the right places. The creators I grew up with were decent human beings. Not a single youtuber I used to watch growing up ended up being in any controversy. I watched some of them again recently and some are even making videos calling out trash behaviour.
It's also worth noting that back in 2014-15 yt was not full of alpha male shit. Everyone was just chilling and playing Minecraft. The video essays were still as great as they are now. If I was born any later, I am afraid I might've fallen down that pipeline and become a completely irredeemable pos.

Not every Indian can have really spicy food. Me personally? My spice tolerance would probably be less that majority of white folks. We eat simple food out here yk. It is full of flavour but it is very simple and not too spicy.
