What would make you stop complaining? There are two kinds of people in this world: Those who are a victim to life, and those who are not.
You choose.

"Everything is right the way it is right now," is a quote by Jared, who texted that to me one night.

Okay. I'm not sure how my title is going to be taken, and if it will be flagged. But it's really just part of a half feast poem in the next couple of days. That's what I'm going to be sharing because my voice is still not back. And it's my birthday and I can do what I want is my birthday on October 22nd. But just tomorrow. I was reading my journal though. And I have a couple poems that I wrote down. If I write a poem down into my journal, that means I really like it. So I'm going to share it with you. This one is called inhabitants on other planets. Really sit with this one. Here we go. I am wondering if someone slipped something in my T about an hour ago. I feel like I'm on some mind altering drug and everything is telling me jokes. You know, it is not beyond God to take pity on many down here. She might just surprise you someday and grind a few million tons of opium into fine dust. And then sprinkle it over your house so that you stop complaining. You might have to shovel your way out as if a big snow came along, smoking it, breathing it in all the time as it were. Maybe God does that routinely for inhabitants on other planet. So you don't take politics and gender. So seriously. Or something. Or something. What makes us take things so seriously? I think it's stress and survival mode. We have to. Keep perpetuating that so he can stay in that familiar. Place of. Taking figs. So freaking seriously. And being stressed about something. I think our nervous systems just really, really enjoy being stressed. And, um, It's hard to break out of that cycle. And it's so liberating to break out of that cycle. Um, my favorite line, there is actually the one where. It says that God will take some of that OPM and sprinkle it over your home. So that you stop complaining. I recently wrote on Facebook that I really believe there are two types of people in this world. Only two. Those who are victim to life and those who are not. That's it. I hope that you find laughter in your life today. And that if you're taking things seriously, you take this moment. To recognize how absurd this whole thing is. And not it's really. All okay. Until next time. Feel free to support the show@buymeacoffee.com slash 1 0 0 ways. And I'm setting all the love and then some more. We'll talk tomorrow.
