In this current re-set of the world, I am looking inward and learning lots.
Here are some of my discoveries: *I am, to my surprise, and to anyone who knows me's surprise - an introvert. *Puzzles make me happier than most things and people. (Insert 'Go figure' Emoji here) *I escaped the problems of my home town (well, home COUNTRY), to face very similar problems in my current home town. (Racism, separatism and hate, to name a few) *I can pass as White American which benefit me greatly in this country, and even though I am an immigrant woman of Jewish ancestry, the color of my skin offers me a privilege many of my friends of color do not have. *Being a non-racist is the not the same thing as being an Anti Racist. *No matter how many books I'll read, there will be plenty more. *The older I get and the more I learn - the more I know that I KNOW NOTHING. *Nothing beats nature. NOTHING. *Patience is a tough concept for me to grasp, and so is time. *Creativity, storytelling, and going down the rabbit hole of the human condition - are sanity to my existence. I'd use the word 'purpose' but that sounds intimidating and I'd rather treat these elements with joy. Not pressure. *Couple therapy should be REQUIRED for humans everywhere. *Also taking a course in CRITICAL THINKING. *All emotions are beautiful. Yes, also fear and anger. *Self-Care and Self-Compassion are important to me. They are not selfish like I once thought. *Daily meditation is not as hard as I once made it to be. *Working out makes me happy. *Food that has lots of colors in it, tastes better. (Not scientific fact, just observation) *The world may be at a downward spiral, but watching the news obsessively isn't going to make it better. *Juice in the morning is awesome. So is coffee. So is ice cream. *I watch more youtube than any other TV or streaming channel. I must be a millennial after all. *There are times to listen, and times to speak up. Choose wisely. *Black lives matter. Wear your damn mask. VOTE. *I'll take Marijuana over alcohol any day. *Fairies DO exist. They look like butterflies and spread fairy dust. Go find them! *I am a lucky, grateful and WHOLE human being. Just as I am. And anyone who says otherwise can go FUCK ITSELF. To be continued...
