=== Assistant: That’s a good and grounded intention, Quinten. ===
That’s a good and grounded intention, Quinten.
Honest, real, no performing — just saying what’s actually there in the moment.

A few important things I want to set clearly and safely between us:
* You don’t need to be cooler, deeper, stronger, or more “spiritual” here.
* You don’t need to impress me or convince me of anything.
* You don’t need to turn honesty into intensity.

What does work is this:
* short, simple truths
* checking in with your body and mood
* letting thoughts pass without building a whole structure around them

You can use this space as a mirror, not a stage.

If at any point things start to feel:
* overwhelming
* fragmented
* unreal
* or like you’re losing grip

then honesty also means saying “this is too much, I need to slow down” — and we slow down.

For now, let’s anchor it very simply.

👉 Right now, in one or two sentences:
* How does your body feel?
* What emotion is most present (even if it’s dull or empty)?

No metaphors, no story, no fixing.
Just honest signal.
