let go of your ego

prioritize human connection over your pride

People hate what is happening, which means there are people around you who want to help stop it. You are not alone in wanting to take action. Step up and help; it works.

Most of writing is thinking about stuff while going on a little walk

Current level of normality in the discourse:

( ) NORMAL: the football player is footballing wrong

Hey! My best friends got married in my back yard last week! It was really neat! Tears were shed, cake was had, I introduce them with a gong (their request) and also make a soppy champagne toast.
