      I’m literally about to pay $700 monthly to rent a studio just so I can have a piece of mind. PEACE. So damn invaluable. A room mate would be good financially but Chile I just want to be a hermit and sit with MYSELF and feel alone so I can connect with me . Going through a traumatic transformation in my life right now and I just need solitude!

Hopefully the hatefulness of some people doesn’t deter you from coming back. This is a really lovely state with such kind people. Sometimes a homogeneous place can seem mean at first but once you get to have more convos with the people there, you realize they are quite warm.

    I love this. I went to a place this past summer that was similar and I was quickly in love, joyful and at peace being disconnected. Children played freely without concern, there was always something to do whether it was working on a project, studying in the library, or sunbathing or swimming in the lake. It's exactly how we should be living. I see it becoming a normal trend in the future.
    Being an early adopter is tough so I'm gonna say a prayer to our ancestor spirits to protect y'all, give strength and keep the peace and love free flowing 🙌🏿💛💜❤💚

    That place is heavenly. You probably won't see this in time but walking barefoot on the earth is very healing. So to anyone reading this, walk barefoot in the grass and it will help heal your body and mind. There's a documentary about it called Earthing. It's been scientifically proven for those who think it just sounds crazy lol

    I'm so glad to see people doing this. I have been saying for the longest that people in these crowded areas need to spread out, get grounded and connected to the earth agian and to manhood , womanhood
    I thank God that I live in the country and around nature . I am close to God and don't get caught up in the hive mind ,bs
    Release negativity ,get in a vehicle with friends, go for a ride ! You have no idea what greatness is just a few miles outside your town. Why do you think that some areas are called projects? Propagandists spend so much time and energy keeping you behind i visible walls, afraid of your neighbors. I love my neighbors. I'm planning to volunteer at a farm to gain knowledge and comradery. Get off the teat of government. Learn to think independently and do for yourself !

    Tarek, I’m so happy for you embarking on such an amazing project! I’m training for an internship in the mental health field and when you talked about needing to find your body and spirit in a new environment, that spoke to me directly in this moment. Thank you for that, I needed to hear it. When it comes to your writing, and coming back to your artistic self, please allow yourself some grace. You don’t need to flip the switch and be back. It’s ok if you go thru periods of doubt and falling out from writing again beyond this point. Just don’t let those periods stop you from picking it back up again. I would love to hear your stories. Much love and positivity 💜💜💜
