Listen

Being nice doesn’t mean you have to like everyone all the time
Being good doesn’t mean your mores have to match those of old texts
Being right does mean it is okay to be wrong
To be who you is to sometimes be misguided, sometimes blind, sometimes broken
To be human, in bare essence, is to be flawed, angry, joyful, vengeful, compassionate, selfish…

Sit, be quiet and allow that kinder inner voice some airtime
You’ll be amazed that the noise of the news, other’s opinions, those sorry excuses for leaders… never had dominion over you
