We are all here on this planet, as tourists, as it were. None of us can live here forever. The longest we might live is a hundred years. So while we are here we should try to have a good heart and to make something positive and useful of our lives.
I got to do something so special yesterday. I got to officiate the wedding of 2 amazing women. Thank you for letting me be a part of your special day. I love you guys so much. #jessicaandkelly#kellyandjessica #2022 #lgbtq🌈 #longbeach
This past weekend, I got out of my sweats and hoodie to celebrate Katy, and her new hubby Sam. Got all glammed up and was able to stand next my sister-wife as she said “I do” to the next chapter. Their smiles are everything #katyandsam2022
After 2+ yrs later, me taking care of unvaccinated patients in the hospital. Being punched in the face by hypoxic patients,being the last person holding their hand as they take their last breath, destroying my body and mental health, I am not ok.
Convo with my sister tonight:
Her: Do you mind if (current BF) comes over for dinner tomorrow?
Me: Are they vaccinated?
Her: No
Me: what the f**k? Why not?
Her: He said he doesn’t want to put crap in his body
Me: Wait, has he ever done drugs?
Her: Well, yes….
Me: So, snorting c*ke off of the back of a toilet is totally cool but they don’t want to do something that can save other people’s lives and is backed by science?
Her: Well, I don’t know…..
Me: ummm, NO. I’m not ok with it
@blobyblo I got my booster and influenza vaccine at the same time because I’m bad a$$ and that’s how I roll. Wish I took a pic of the look of fear pharmacist’s eyes when I told him “Just stab me. I’m an ICU nurse and nothing at this point scares me”.
In order to develop our mind, we must look at a deeper level. Everyone seeks happiness, joyfulness, but from outside—from money, from power, from big car, from big house. Most people never pay much attention to the ultimate source of a happy life, which is inside, not outside.
It can sometimes seem as if one person will not be very effective. However, change in the world always begins with an individual who shares what he or she has learned and passes it on to others.
As soon as I wake up, I think about altruism. I reflect on the verse that says, "So long as space remains, I will remain in order to serve sentient beings." This gives me inner strength and determination, so there’s no longer any danger of destructive emotions arising.
We should show one another love and help each another. It is a mistake to pursue happiness and to seek to the avoid suffering by deceiving and humiliating other people. We must try to achieve happiness and eliminate suffering by being generous and warm-hearted.
