I think one of the biggest lessons I learned this year is that peace is something you build. It doesn’t just show up. You create it by letting go, setting boundaries, and refusing to carry what isn’t yours.
this is lovely. but look. you don't have to wait for that person to show up in order to cut up the mangos. you don't have to hold all your love in a bottle until your prince or princess falls out of the sky. you can write the sticky notes and cut up the mangos. you don't have to ration it, hold it all in and let it ooze out of you at the first glance of someone liking you back. pull it out of you each day, in your texts to your friends and your calls to your mom and your glance at the barista. you'll find you don't run out, you'll find there's even more than you thought. if you let it out, there will be more and more mangos. if you let it out, there will be endless sticky notes.
Please remember that not everyone is going to be holly and jolly all season long. People are grieving, financially stressed, burnt out, and just doing their best. The holidays can be a tough time of the year for many folks and you never know what anyone else is going through...
trump is starting a war with venezuela over a drug cartel that doesn't exist to install a right wing puppet president who will sell the largest known oil reserves on earth to exxon mobil and we all need to take it more seriously
