Meme Monday: Mood all 2018
It is almost time for a new year and you know us humans: a new year means a new us but Daquan taught me something different...
Essentially, you don't have to become a new person or WANT to become a new person to have a prosperous, successful, loving, and a good year. You can simply start by dodging some bullshit when you can. Daquan specifically wants these things out of his life:
drama, stress, depression, fake friends, doubt, negativity, Trump, misery, broke, kids, bullshit, fucks, anxiety, new friends, thots.
Before I say, "AMEN", "HALLELUJAH", or “Am I right?” is there anyone who, in their lives, want more of any of the things Daquan mentioned? ... Me neither.
Guess what though… We can all help change these things for each other by simply practising kindness in and outside of our homes and in and outside of our bodies. Maybe this is cliché or too kumbaya for you but it is the dead, hard truth. The truth is that we can change this world and not only do we get extra points for working together but we also get farther faster and safer together.
