sometimes I feel aware that I could be more #compassionate. that I could stand to extend more care and #empathy into the world, especially for those I don't agree with or see eye to eye with.
but when I look at some of the dehumanization I see happening, I remind myself that I had this thought while wrestling with guilt about killing a bug I found.
& while it's true that a bug is just as much a part of this world and deserves empathy, I do wonder if I am being just a little hard on myself 😅

I think this is so interesting-- maybe that's why when I wake up from a dream and switch positions, I can't pick the same dream back up or the energy/intensity is different.
Since their discovery in the 1990s, the head-direction cells in the brain have been referred to as its "internal compass." These cells are activated when the head of an animal or human points in a certain direction, and are thought to be important for spatial orientation and navigation.
