For all those out there who equate being useful with being valuable - this phrase can change your life. Remind yourself every day.
You can be gentle and compassionate and assertive and confident. These things are not mutually exclusive.
At the end of all this… what do you really want?

Letting go of this unrealistic expectation that we’re all special, exceptional angels destined for greatness. It upkeeps this sadistic need to continually prove our worth. Sometimes a gal just wants to hang out n exist 🫶🏼
Instead, greatness lies in the degree of presence throughout the day - can you sit and be with the wind? can you be ok knowing that this moment is all there ever is? No past, no future, just here and now

-As is natural for beings, I wish to be in a healthy, loving relationship and not alone. That is okay to acknowledge and does not make me weak.
-As is natural for beings, it is okay to desire having many, meaningful friendships and good familial relationships, even if I do not. That is okay to acknowledge and does not make me weak.
-I wish to be freed of my attachment to material things, but it is naturally hard on this material plane. That is okay to acknowledge and does not make me weak.
-I am becoming more aware of my power to manifest physical reality while becoming more aware of my physical embodiment's nothingness, and that the power is shared equally by all but usable only in proportion to realization of your physical embodiment's nothingness.
-I know my perspective on living is right, but I also know the proper course of action is to proselytize with love, not condemn with contempt.
-There is nothing that can make me better than someone else, even acquiring knowledge, wisdom, virtue despite such being the fundamental occupation of higher beings (power and wealth for lesser beings), because we are all one entity. Only in lifting others can one lift oneself.
-No beings grouped by a trait should ever be denigrated. No beings grouped by a trait should ever be celebrated. These are equal evils.
Despite all the above,
sometimes, you need
a war-time consigliere.
Now is such a time.
Let it begin.

Turn of the Millennium. One absurdist comic and one former white house intern meet up for a wild 72 hours in Ottawa. Maybe the richest fabric is the friends we make along the way.
