This is Pete.
Pete is fine.
He’s not frozen — he’s shifting.
Give it a moment. Joy is loading …

who is passive pete?

I am passive pete, your are passive pete, we are all passive pete.

When life feels like nothing is fine around us, it is time for us to go inside and find that feeling of being fine again.

Some times we need to change for being fine again.

Shifting thoughts, attitudes and behaviours may

sometimes appear as being paralyzed →

but it’s not, we are processing.

Technically, passive pete is also a hommage to the popular

„This is fine“-Meme. It told us everything we needed to know about ourselves when we needed it.

This time it is not about something around us – not pointing outwards. This time it is about us – about being.

About the present moment and what we want to be emerged from it.

why passive pete?

Dall-e surprised me with this image. It was generated when I experimented with various styles as inputs and mixing and matching them while interpreting themes like „the art of teaching yourself“ and „fucking learn to regulate your nervous system“ or „Metanoia“

And ta-daa

Seeing this I had to immediately laugh out loud 😂 … i mean …

Pete just looks like how I feel at times.

But in an awkwardly good way.

It says: Something is coming and it’s gonna be good.

This and Amber’s permission lead me to entry passive pete for the Existential Meme Prize. No matter the outcome, I decided passive pete to be my new mascot. I will print him as sticker and put him, wherever I need to be reminded, that good things are in the making.

If you like passive pete, sharing the OG post would contribute.

template! get creative!

grab yourself a passive pete and put him, wherever you want people to be reminded about „Joy incoming“
