been trying to actively remind myself lately that being sick is simply a transient state, not a marker of a personality defect; some kind of weakness in others that caused them be chronically down. nor will it necessarily spread itself to me, so I have nothing to gain from avoiding these people. admitting to yourself your own prejudices will only benefit the world around you!

I was a pretty self-centered kid (as most of us are, developmentally) until I went through some things that made me expand my own horizons surrounding how I judge/don't judge other people. It's good to remember that we're all trying our best out here.

sometimes people have hidden troubles and they can come off rude, and sometimes theyāre just a snot. either way the cliche ākill them with kindnessā applies here and even if they donāt brighten up, it feels good to know you were the nice person in the interaction.
just ranting after my serving shift lol

I really donāt like when people treat other people badly. Itās unnecessary. the smile on their face could be covering a lifetime of pain, or it could be genuine happiness but how would we know? and either way, the way we treat someone could decide what their next day is like ā could be a good or bad day based on a small interaction with little old me. but Iāll never consciously be unkind or hurt someone. we do owe each other something as human beings ā kindness. being kind isnāt difficult. be kind. be thoughtful. be warm. be loving. be graceful. be patient.

I donāt always want to post them but I find that getting into the habit of taking lots of photos, good and bad, both with people in them and not, makes me want to keep them safer than just on instagram. thatās my emotional support folderā¦ get away from herā¦

Iāve been very slowly making my way through the satoshi kon filmography (like very slowly,,, I first watched perfect blue three years ago) and honestly this one might be my favorite?? a found family film through and through, which I am a gigantic sucker for. three homeless people find a baby in a dumpster and set out on a quest to find her parents, no matter the result. I think I was more receptive to it because it takes place on christmas eve and I was already feeling fresh nostalgia for a christmas eve that had just happened a few days beforeā¦ but I loved being in the world this film builds. a gross, hidden tokyo built upon the backs of small kindnesses. will absolutely watch again next year because I havenāt stopped thinking about it, wanting to return to that world for a few minutes.
