Sometimes you make the change happen

sometimes the whispers become screams

sometimes your effort isn’t enough

sometimes its not about you

 

What I’ve learned this week is emotion connects us

what I’ve learned this week is to stay present

What I’ve learned this week is to say the words

what I’ve learned this week is to take my time

 

Understanding negates judgement

empathy negates ego

paying attention reduces anxiety

taking my time always produces better results

 

starting over doesn’t always mean “brand new”

learning new tricks keeps the game fun

collaboration over compromise means we both win

if we are both making moves, the game keeps going.

 

Can you burn out? will you give up? do you try hard? will you fight for what you want?

 

It doesn’t really matter, in the end, but it feels like it does right now.

We are all going to die, but we aren’t dead right now.
