Just another regular day in June
Where to begin? No idea but here goes anyway 😊 I’ve been doing better since the last round of letters – well, at least I’d like to think so. There’s less noise in my head and I would like to believe that I’m more alive, aware and generally living life a bit more. This is in stark contrast to my former state where it felt like I was just ‘coasting along’. I’ve made a commitment to be more intentional about my actions and what I ‘feed’ into or allow into my ‘zone’, and I find myself consciously re-evaluating situations and people through a specific and straight-forward lens, without all the added emotions and biases that I previously would have considered. Talk about de-cluttering and setting boundaries. Feels good I must say! Nonetheless, not everyone is happy about this but, we mooooveeeee lol. Afterall, it’s all about evolving, right?
Anyway, truth be told, despite the positive outlook and ‘rearranging’ that’s been going on, I must admit that with each passing day, the news of the world on a whole makes it seem as though its all going to shit. I still have moments where I question everything because e be like say one day we go wake up and everything go just blow LOL but hopefully that won’t be the case and all the ‘happenings’ now will hopefully have a ‘fruitful’ end.
I had a very lengthy and interesting conversation with a friend yesterday during which we discussed where we felt the world was heading and what we can all individually do to help it ‘recover’. Fact remains that we all have a bit of a part to play and in as much as we may want to ignore it or pretend like it doesn’t affect us, we should try to remain in the loop so as not to get caught unawares, or find ourselves in unfavorable situations.
Bottom line is, be nice guys. You know that saying/verse about doing unto others as we’d like done unto us? Yeah, keep that in mind. People are struggling, life is different for many, circumstances have changed, tolerance levels are lower (or higher depending), and some people are now finding succor in the strangest and most unusual of places. Do your best. It’s not easy and our ‘best’ isn’t always available everyday but, do your best 😊 Smile at strangers, hold the door open even for your friends. Listen to good music and read a good book now and then. In times like these, the mind helps us escape more than we may think. Truly, I don’t have it all together and Lord knows that if I were writing this yesterday or tomorrow, or even two hours from now, the content/sentiment could be totally different lol. But, this is where I am at this very moment and this is what I would like to pass along – be nice, people. I do not know anyone here, but I feel a connection to all of you and thank you for sharing, and also for being a part of my sharing. The fire on this seat is a little hot right now and I’m choosing to hop off now so be good guys and until next time.
Virtual hugs, candy, wine and small chops from me to you 😊
Lex.
