Today is your reminder to be silly, be kind, be the most ‘you’ you can be. To love yourself + to love your people.
Today’s reminder is in honor of my late best childhood friend. She was all of those things + so much more. She would sing and dance on the soccer field just to get everyone to laugh. She consisted off of McDonald’s chicken nuggets and was proud of it. She taught me things that were way beyond our mere pre-teen years. She has lived on in spirit for many years now, because her spirit was so strong while she was here on Earth. This year is no different.
It makes me often wonder about this ‘web3 world’ we’re building, and how it will impact generations to come. How it might impact the rememberance of our loved ones. She’d often think in that way – about the impact we were having right now and the legacy we would leave. But instead of going down the rabbit hole of my own thoughts on the matter, I thought I’d compile some of my favorite poems of hers:
“If you cannot see the beauty in this earth,
You have yet to find the beauty in yourself.”
“We’re not afraid to die, we already have.
What we haven’t done is lived.”
“Love is a verb.” Don’t forget to act. 💗
