Once upon a time, there was a family of 7.2 billion people running around their little blue village trying to change each other and beat each other up. No one really knew why.
Each new generation picked up where the generation before had left off, mocking, shunning, shaming, judging and attacking their family for their different beliefs, social status, gender, sexual orientation, alliances, traditions, looks and well, just about anything.
While they could have been building a beautiful village together and caring for one another, instead, they wasted time blowing things up, destroying the village, hurting each other, even going to war with each other over their differences.
Then one day a group of children within the village decided “this is dumb” we’re not playing like this anymore. And they didn’t, and over a few generations the family began to heal.
They still had disagreements, but now they worked through them with curiosity and without judgment or causing each other significant harm.
Soon the family began to realize they were supposed to be different. It was their differences that made them stronger, healthier and collectively wiser. They saw that when they lifted each other up, and listen to each other‘s perspectives, they achieved more together then they did apart.
No, they did not all live “happily ever after”, but they did survive and live “better ever after.”
That’s it.
The End~
**I don’t want to look like you, be like you, think like you, have the same hopes, dreams or goals as you. Those things belong to you, those things are a part of your journey.
The only thing we should be the same at, is accepting and loving each other as we are; and, embracing the notion that; ~we’re supposed to be different, it’s our differences that give us our collective strength and collective beauty.
I’m gonna’ love your beautiful, messy, weird, little, soul, just the way it is and, love my own weird, messy, little soul the same way.
Love Toni ~🌹❤️
