A little note of joy amidst the chaos

“Happy whole people are drawn to happy whole people. Nothing makes a toxic person more mad than a happy whole person.”

Shonda Rhymes

Not every day will feel the happiest. That’s a GOOD thing. If every second felt happy, the bar would shift, and our great moments would need to be even better, causing the “bad” ones to be the good ones. It’s a weird mess, yet here we are.

Whatever point of life you’re in, you’ve likely survived some “haters” to get there. Perhaps, as a child, some adults failed you… Perhaps as an adult, there have been people who’ve wounded you and let you down.

Neither adult nor child-you deserved that.

It was never about you, but about them.

It’s time for us to stop repeating the hurt-us cycles.
