I have no direction on the outside, but I do have an inner compass.
I think you have as well, I found mine through years of therapy, meditation and mindfulness.
Of course, it did hurt when realizing I haven’t always acted according to my true inner compass. Forgiving myself for mistakes and wrong-doings, and trying to make a better tomorrow is really all I can do.
Except for my random thoughts about inner compasses- which was my main focus for a couple years, and concious and unconcious and stuff like that.
I find you very fascinating, and I like your way of expressing yourself. I like your humor and your point of view on life.
I see you as this charming masculine guy, with a warmer heart than one might think. (Lol, but I can be totally wrong)
In my mind you are an awesome human being
One of the reasons are you are reflecting on yourself and seem to be a philosopher regarding this life we are living.
Sorry if I am all over the place, too much coffee today.
Change to what? The awesome person you are. Integrate the true inner you with something that works on the outside. Less dissonance will enhance the mindful ‘happy’ state.
