We haven’t even made it to January 20 (Trump inauguration). We already have major fires in our second largest city, terrorist attacks, talk of invading Greenland/Panama/Canada. almost no one talking about what we really need to do to cut carbon. Hospitals are full in my area and people talk about washing hands, but not about masking. I am already so weary. I don’t know what is going to happen after January 21.
Super duper duper not a religious person but one of my favorite pieces of literature is the serenity prayer. You cut out the last like 6 lines and it doesn’t even mention shit about God but the rest perfectly outlines my approach to politics, everyday idiots, and not kicking little kids in the chest when they act like shitbags. (Discussion for another time but as of this comment I am batting 1000 for correcting child misbehaviors via swift kick to the chest vs kids who were given timeout after misbehaving lol /s)
Its a horrible truth but life has not, is not and never will be fair. You will be beat down, fucked over, robbed, disrespected and overwhelmingly discouraged by what life throws at you. Life is a battle and victory is having the strength to continue fighting. When life is at its darkest, that is when you must be at your best.
Wonderful point ✊
