286. Maksim asks: What if trains were alive? (ZZZizitation)

In this courage meditation, Zizi rides the Dream Engine, passing by her anxieties about grades, embarrassment, and the environment, then letting them go on her way to sleep.

Lessons include: Self-care makes it easier and more rewarding to care for others; other people’s judgment cannot change our inherent worth; our mistakes help us grow when we acknowledge them.
