My version of a stress dream is, really, showing up on a concert stage with a drum set and not knowing the chart.
I think it's harder to forgive ourselves for mistakes that we made because we keep dwelling on it. We want to know how it affects other people, if they liked us for it, if they didn't like us.

The life of inner peace, being harmonious and without stress, is the easiest type of existence.
