Let them shine .
Someone once told me to always live for the little things in life.
"Live for 5am sunrises and 5pm sunsets where you'll see colours in the sky that don't usually belong. Live for road trips and bike rides with music in your ears and the wind in your hair. Live for days when you're surrounded by your favourite people who make you realise that the world is not a cold, harsh place. Live for the little things because they will make you realise that this is what life is about, this is what it means to be alive.”
Taking a moment to shout out to all of you.
The Facebook posts, the comments, Instagram feeds, Twitter timelines, TikToks, WhatsApp groups, messages, phone calls and love. So much love. My friends, family and even social media acquaintances. My favourite people.
Thank you for reminding me that the world is not a cold, harsh place.
Thank you for letting me shine.
Except for the haters. And the trolls. And the people who don't like my hair. You're all as****es. And you make unnecessary noise. For some reason, you spread your hate, not just to me but to random strangers, to try to make yourself feel better.
NEVER be the reason someone stops dancing.
Just let people be.
You see, if someone is doing something that makes them happy, and it’s not hurting anyone else (or illegal), then don’t be the reason they even think for a split second about stopping. Why would you want to be the person trying to dim someone else’s light just because you don’t like the way it shines?
I digress. Jammer Wimpie.
To all the people who remind me that there is good in the world. To all the people who let each other shine.
Thank you.
Buy a donkey.
You make me (and so many other people around you) so incredibly happy. And I am so thankful to have you in my life. Good grief, I am surrounded by so many good people who drown out the noise and chaos. I am so, so lucky.
Just showing immense gratitude for the people I love and my friends who know how to be friends.
I hope today you get the opportunity to shine.
Okay. Love you. Bye.
