“Toxic” gratefulness negates the journey we are on – some things in life are just shit and maybe you don’t need to be grateful for the shit, but for the ability to keep moving forward. Accept the moment, live in it fully, with dignity. Recognize the obstacles, even on the slowest roads there can be speed bumps, and then look past those obstacles to a future where you can be grateful for your resilience. Build a life that allows you to sit in the moment you’ve created and embrace with a joy of self-reflection that acknowledges you survived some shit.
Accept the now – there is shit in the world and there is beauty – they co-exist – do not let either consume you – move through both with centeredness. Do right by those you meet. Navigate around those that block your joy/journey. Do not fear calling bullshit on bad news shit stirrers.
Present the present …. give love now.
