I was reflecting today on how I respond to so many of you online. I often write ‘love you’ or ‘miss you’ to many messages and comments even though I barely know them, have never met them, or they are someone from my past that I haven’t see in a long time.
I was thinking in this often disconnected world...do people wonder if I actually mean it, or is it just random ‘nice’ empty words that people say on the internet because it makes them ‘look good’.
It might surprise you that I deeply mean it. In fact that’s what got me thinking about it initially, because as I was writing it yesterday I noticed how much ‘love’ and feel good vibes flowed through my hands as I wrote it. I believe we sometimes as a collective that there are so many beautiful variations of what the word love actually means. And when I say I miss someone, it doesn’t always mean that we may ever see each other again, but I want them to know and feel that their presence in the world is felt, that I value them, and they are ‘missed’. Again, missed is feeling that can take on many meanings
You see even amongst the backdrop of sometimes melancholic world, I genuinely just have love for all humans that I connect with in any form. I feel so much joy and smile in my heart, often get butterflies, or get that strange kind wave of what feels like adrenaline when I write to people, speak to people, or think consciously about them as a living breathing human
They are someone’s father, mother, child, brother, sister, carer, grandma, grandpa, etc, and I have a deep appreciation for how much they are loved and bring joy to someone’s life. I also think about the people I love the most and how I hope everyone is super nice to them in their day, because to me they are so special and they deserve to be treated with that same love and kindness.
I truly want you all to win.
To find joy, peace, fun, and success in your lives in whatever form that looks like to each of you.
I hope you all had a wonderful Monday, no matter what that actually looked like.
Maybe it wasn’t the best ‘feeling’ day or exactly what you want for your life, but I can promise you it was a purposeful day...somewhere in someone’s life you added value, or maybe you are simply adding value to your own. And value comes in many forms, the struggles, the fear, the heartbreak, the joy, the small wins, even stagnancy.
Love you guys!
