A little love goes a long way 💜
IN THE MARGINS
I tried to trudge forward with business as usual but couldn’t.
And maybe that’s a good thing that I couldn’t. It means there’s still some sympathy/empathy and a hint of hope.
I know that there’s always something bad going on in the world and, for me, it’s easy to spiral into “omg, all humans are trash - how have we existed this long?” or immediately skip to “so-and-so has it worse so I shouldn’t complain”. But there are some moments that a pause feels especially poignant and needed.
Simply put, my heart hurts and my spirit is tired. So for this week I just ask that you give a little love and compassion however you can - to yourself and to others.
None of us are making it off this rock alive so our time here will be much better if we look out for each other.
