Honestly something that bothers me more than most things is having my compassion mistaken for naivety.

I know that another fish might eat this bullfrog right after I spend months rehabilitating it.

I know that turning a beetle back onto its legs won’t save it from falling over again when I walk away.

I know that there is no cosmic reward waiting for my soul based on how many worms I pick off a hot sidewalk to put into the mud, or how many times I’ve helped a a raccoon climb out of a too-deep trashcan.

I know things suffer, and things struggle, and things die uselessly all day long. I’m young and idealistic, but I’m not literally a child. I would never judge another person for walking by an injured bird, for ignoring a worm, or for not really caring about the fate of a frog in a pond full of, y’know, plenty of other frogs.

There is nothing wrong with that.

But I cannot cannot cannot look at something struggling and ignore it if I may have the power to help.

There is so much bad stuff in this world so far beyond my control, that I take comfort in the smallest, most thankless tasks. It’s a relief to say “I can help you in this moment,” even though they don’t understand.

I don’t need a devil’s advocate to tell me another fish probably ate that frog when I let it go, or that the raccoon probably ended up trapped in another dumpster the next night.

I know!!!! I know!!!!!!! But today I had the power to help! So I did! And it made me happy!

So just leave me alone alright thank u!!!!

I heard a story about this, a parable I guess.

There was a big storm and a ton of starfish were washed onto the beach, stranded much further up than they could get back and beginning to bake in the post-storm sunshine. A little girl was walking down the beach, picking up starfish and throwing them back into the sea. Some guy comes up and asks her what she’s doing. “Saving the starfish,” she says.

He looks around at the huge beach and the hundreds of starfish, and says “You can’t possibly save them all. I’m afraid you’re not gonna make much of a difference.”

She throws another starfish back into the ocean, and replies “It made a difference to that one.”

Yeah, I mean, we know we can’t change all the things. But have you ever noticed how much better life is when you’re around people who change things when they can?

Kindness is a choice. Even if it’s small, it’s worth it.

itsladykit

This is what I’m talking about, when I say that kindness and compassion do not equate with ignorance, stupidity, or naivety. Being cynical does not make someone more intelligent or more worldly.

Kindness is not weakness.

Kindness is brave. Especially when you also know that your kindness might not be returned, may even be met with anger or cruelty. It’s reaching out with an open hand, knowing that it’s just as likely to be bitten as it is to be held.

Kindness is hard. If you can’t find it in yourself to be kind, then fine. But don’t make it more difficult for those that can.

Reminds me so much of mini-prinz and his tales of picking up snails off the sidewalk 😊

Power move of the century

“By 30, you should have: •One old boyfriend you can imagine going back to and one who reminds you of how far you’ve come. •A decent piece of furniture not previously owned by anyone else in your family. •Something perfect to wear if the employer or man of your dreams wants to see you in an hour. •A purse, a suitcase and an umbrella you’re not ashamed to be seen carrying. •A youth you’re content to move beyond. •A past juicy enough that you’re looking forward to retelling it in your old age. •The realization that you are actually going to have an old age—and some money set aside to help fund it. •An e-mail address, a voice mailbox and a bank account—all of which nobody has access to but you. •A résumé that is not even the slightest bit padded. •One friend who always makes you laugh and one who lets you cry. •A set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill and a black lace bra. •Something ridiculously expensive that you bought for yourself, just because you deserve it. •The belief that you deserve it. •A skin-care regimen, an exercise routine and a plan for dealing with those few other facets of life that don’t get better after 30. •A solid start on a satisfying career, a satisfying relationship and all those other facets of life that do get better. By 30, you should know: •How to fall in love without losing yourself. •How you feel about having kids. •How to quit a job, break up with a man and confront a friend without ruining the friendship. •When to try harder and when to walk away. •How to kiss in a way that communicates perfectly what you would and wouldn’t like to happen next. •The names of: the secretary of state, your great-grandmother and the best tailor in town. •How to live alone, even if you don’t like to. •How to take control of your own birthday. •That you can’t change the length of your calves, the width of your hips or the nature of your parents. •That your childhood may not have been perfect, but it’s over. •What you would and wouldn’t do for money or love. •That nobody gets away with smoking, drinking, doing drugs or not flossing for very long. •Who you can trust, who you can’t and why you shouldn’t take it personally. •Not to apologize for something that isn’t your fault. Why they say life begins at 30.”
