you deserve a more tender tomorrow.
yes, even you. reading this, agreeing without applying, hands in front of
your eyes. i’ll pass this on, you think, but it doesn’t apply to me.
i know because i have spent the last 2 weeks trying to say out loud: “i
deserve good things.” i only get to “i deserve g-” and then i break out
into a cold sweat. who am i to deserve anything? there are people out
there suffering. there are people out there who need good things to
happen. i don’t deserve anything. i am just a person. a filament. if a
good thing was supposed to happen to me, i hope it passes over and happens
to someone more - deserving.
but just because you can endure the present does not mean it should be
something so painful.
you deserve a tender tomorrow for the same reason you deserve water, food,
or air. you deserve it for the effort of survival. you are surviving,
aren’t you? doesn’t it take a toll from you, staying here?
goodness and kindness and tenderness should not be a commodity; to be doled
out in quantities. you should not feel that life exists as
supply-and-demand - your happiness does not come at the cost of someone
else. it does not take from some gallon of global happiness. it does not
promise that a stranger will have an equally-tragic reaction to tip the
scales back into balance.
there is just you, deserving. you didn’t have to earn it. there is no
calculation of time-enjoyed versus time-spent-suffering.
trust me. you (yes, even you) deserve peace.
