The more I fill voids on the inside, the less I need things on the outside.
We have always been used to chasing things, begging, working hard, buying things to fill our voids.
Unfortunately, as soon as you close one, 10 others open.
I was like that too. This is not a judgment.
No wonder, we live in a time where we are told that a Bugatti means happiness, a partner means love, a new pair of shoes means peace of mind.
Although I also appreciate the material world, and all that it brings.
There was never the answer I was looking for.
A sunset, the wind gently stroking my skin, the concerts of birds singing just for me.
That is my peace of mind.
The more I give myself on the inside and don't need anything from the outside, the more I get. The richer and more complete I feel.
A little bare monkey in the jungle of my homeland.
I wish I could tell my younger self just that. Give yourself everything you are looking for out there and it will all be given to you.
Freedom, love, happiness.
No one is holding it back for you, only you are.
