I know, somehow, that only when it is dark enough can you see the stars. -Martin Luther King
Have we even noticed how fast the temperature is rising? For the last few days, the weather has been so unfavorable. People are feeling suffocated. But do we even acknowledge the reasons behind this condition? It's WE people and our unconscious and monstrous activities. We are destroying our Mother Earth. It is sounding terrible, right? Do we even think about the future of our dearest planet? The future of our future generation? How can we be soo selfish? It's time to CHANGE, Like for real. Trust me, it won't be too much difficult just to be eco-friendly. We can always try to avoid plastic and polythene as much as we can. For example: using jute or paper bags rather than polythene where you have options. Avoid drinking with straws. Turn off the lights, fans whenever not needed etc. etc. Do these small activities need much effort? NO. So, please let's think about it and try to change ourselves and hence change the environment. Be safe yourself and save others as well.
If there's one thing I want you to do as the world gets colder, get kinder. They will comment on things that don't make sense just to be mad. They will start fights just to see you get mad.
They are mad. You might be mad. But you don't have to be mad at one another.
Just...don't participate in petty debates that you will never win. That aren't meant to be won. Especially as we descend again into the hellscape that is this type of rhetoric and cold world.
Be nicer to neighbors, friends, family. Take losses. Be the bigger person even when it HURTS. And when it comes to family and friends, it will. Of course don't concede your values. But don't push people away you depend on and rely on and want in your life either unless you have no choice.
Love yourself more than anyone. If there's any time to be selfish it's also now. Save your grace and ignore trolls. Ignore people and conversations and communities that don't serve you. If you have hobbies that don't serve you anymore, cut them off. Social media you don't use? Delete it.
Lastly, don't spend the next four years wishing you did more. Do more. Or do as much as you can. Your best is good enough. Stay in the moment. You don't need to dwell on the past, and you don't need to have a five year plan. Don't let the trauma of your environment shut you in. That's what I did during the last Presidency of this type, and I do regret it. Because I burnt out.
I love you. One day we will be able to love and live with reckless abandon again. With freedoms and liberties assured. Until then, we are here for one another, and we will get through it.
We did it once, we will do it again.
Myself is crippling me, myself is a critic that always it has to find a negative thing to say about me. Myself is fear and the purpose of me has always been to overcome it.

the little self in me whispers in this midnight abyss that I am not forgotten that I am alive that am a river and I can flow wherever I wish too. The little self in me whispers in this midnight abyss that there is a starlight that I have to look a little hard with huge amour-propre that only then will the starlight unvail its light onto the path that i must take out of the abyss.
