Kindness is a security control, even during times like these. β¨Especiallyβ¨ during times like these.
Kindness grows friends, allies, buy in, trust, & the benefit of the doubt.

Someone is. Find your community. Do the work.

I sometimes think superhero stories did us a disservice in the collective imagination
Itβs many small actions taken together that make heroic change
A superhero is a fantasy for when you have no hope β the truth of it is WE ALL create hope
Comedy is the answer to nihilism
Hope and mirth bring possibility.
A regulated brain, filled with joy, makes better decisions & is capable of building the community that will decide our future.
These are practices; daily
endeavors, like laundry or dinner. Take action from this strong foundation

Believe it when they say it, & act accordingly. Trust should be incredibly hard won
Iβve always preferred to take people at their word and not constantly sort through βDid they mean that? Will they do thatβ¦?β

If your brain is too buzzy and youβre struggling to think: take a walk, even just around the house. Pacing has a purpose!

What makes you unique is part of what makes you powerful. Donβt lose those thoughts, those abilities, that air, that voice! All together, individual snowflakes make a blizzard

Sometimes, it is quite enough to daringly dream of beautiful futures
Dreaming is before the doing, you know
