Asterisk Monthly: About Kindness [June, 2020]
Kindness can be a place, a memory, a food, a person…

I love to see and hear how different people describe different sensations of kindness for and from themselves, like it’s the only existent way to feel or do the gestures of kindness. When you love someone and you care for that person, you put as a goal do everything you can to make them smile, to make a bad day turn into a common, but safe, space to be you or just to unburden. When you really love, sometimes you can put yourself in second place, just for a tiny moment, to try to be better and be there. There’s nothing wrong with doing that, unless you know you also need to be kind with yourself too.

The real meaning of kindness comes from places and people that you trust and know that will be better or will make you feel better. The best way to share your feelings about kindness is doing things without hoping for something back. Do it because you feel you can and you feel you need to. Genuine gestures of kindness are powerful — and powerful people need to trust in other powerful ones.
