thoughts while wearing my favorite grey sweatshirt

If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.
The Dalai Lama

It has to start within.
With you.
You have to look inside
and find compassion
for the self.
(For your self.)
Stop being afraid
to forgive.
You.
Today.
Yesterday.
All of it.
Let go of the fear.
(What would happen if you did?)
Find your breath.
Now.
Breathe.
Open up
(your heart)
to kindness for yourself
Only then can you be open
to compassion
for others.
