reminders to myself

you need to be around people that are good to you

so you can learn that goodness is an option

and pass it down to any child you meet

you are an angry coward because you

grew up around angry cowards

focus on blossoming from the right water,

instead of focusing on your thirst

irish people are saying ireland is full

and lighting busses on fire

some people don't get the option of safety or abandonment

so many people will have organs damaged from the air we're breathing

and people will get hostile at you for caring

when people say change happens on a local level,

consider that you are the most local thing to you

and if you could change yourself alone, 

you wouldn't be sad and "failing".

there's militant utility in painting kindness 

and friendship

as a child's lesson

as a childish practice.
