Write It On Your Skin

I know it will never happen, but I would love people just to take a minute or two and look at their behaviour. Are they consuming themselves with somebody else's life? They should make more time for their own and allow other people to live theirs. After all the only thing you have within your power to change is yourself, that's it. It actually is as simple as that. I often ponder how things are constantly building up until people are so overwhelmed they have no time for who they are, what they want. For instance the ridiculous expectations that people are under to become a "better ally" (what even is that?). Or how what's in the news or various movements is asking for their participation. When do you have time for you? Or can you not just be who you are without constantly worrying about what you do or say. We all mess up, we all make mistakes, we've all said and done stupid stuff, and guess what? We're gonna keep saying and doing stupid stuff because we're human. There is no instruction booklet so stop acting as if there is. We can apologise and ask for forgiveness, but most importantly we can listen and learn. Just be you.
