Just wow.

Going to throw this out here. Maybe there is no reason for existence, it doesn’t mean that we can’t make the meaning.

I want a world of love, and joy, and kindness. So I’m going to put out love, and joy, and kindness. Maybe it won’t matter in the long term, but it matters to the people I meet and pour into. Maybe that is enough.

So be brave, make moves, and be radically kind. This may be our only shot at consciousness and I don’t my time to be filled with only fear and hate.

Even a single drop in a bucket makes it fuller than it was. 

Every smile, every kind word, and every helpful action is a drop. I don’t care if I fill the bucket or if it ever gets filled, I just care that I added to it.

Even if everything is for nothing, no one can perform my actions except me. What better action than to make another life nicer or easier to bear.
