Respect and trust are the foundations upon which the relationship can grow, while both of the individuals develop to be improved versions of themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Who or what inspires you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beautiful music, poetry, J.R.R. Tolkien\u2019s books, my teachers and fellow students at the Anthroposophical Studies at the Goetheanum. Brave, passionate and ambitious people inspire me, as well as kind, loving and gentle people. Wise people inspire me, and nature inspires me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What would you most like to develop in yourself?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A kind attitude that emanates from the heart in the form of kind actions and words. Discernment and healthy judgement, inner calm, devotion and fearlessness. A spark in the eyes and a never-ending enthusiasm for life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What could you not live without?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trees, music and the sun. And social interaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong>When do you feel happy? When do you feel content?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I spend time among lots of people. When I can have a slow morning with a nourishing breakfast and a coffee with lots of milk and honey. When I spend an entire day out in the sunshine. When I am with my most beloved people. When my family is healthy and happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What makes you laugh (secretly)?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Memes and internet humour. Cute animals and cute words\u2014like ducklings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Where do you draw the line?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I no longer feel respected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What virtue do you value more now \u2013 or less now?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I value kindness more than before, and intelligence less than before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Do you have a connection to spirituality? If so, what does that look like?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m not sure if this is something I can put into words now, except in poetry. I have had a connection to spirituality ever since I can remember, and this connection pushes me forward to try to learn as much as I can about the nature of life and the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Contact\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/leiligem.substack.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Substack<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Image<\/strong>\u00a0Privat<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dornach, Switzerland.
