I am sick and tired of the 24/7 news cycle. The politicization & sensationalism surrounding everything. Baby, this is the way that it is. And always will be.
We are allowed to question things. To ensure that truth prevails. We are not our ideas or beliefs, no. But we are led to believe so. I, like the ideas and beliefs, are constantly changing. Processing both perceived “bad” or “good” information, and adjusting as necessary.
We don’t need more trouble.
Love. Truth.
I can be Chad Ripley. And Nothing, but everything. Shut up and pass the joint, Chad.
Communication can always be stronger.
So If I be wrong, don’t fret, just adjust accordingly.
River’s gon’ keep flowing, it ain’t worried about where it’s going.
Early morning sunshine tells me all that I need to know.
Baby, This is the way that it is…
You can still love others & be true to oneself.
You don’t need to hold any expectations; to stay true to oneself.
The research and time you put in to be as one is. It is your life. How do you want to spend it?
By the ocean. Existing.
I’m sick and tired of this 24/7 news cycle. The politicization + sensationalism surrounding everything.
Baby, this is the way that it is.
Someone once told me that time is a flat circle, where everything we’ve ever done or will do, we’re gonna do over and over again.
I don’t know if I believe that, but if that’s true; I hope that we can see through these perpetual thought + behavior patterns that often tear us apart, rather than bring us together.
That we can escape group think, to value and love community but to evade identifying with one particular tribe. & realize we are just 1 tribe, humans. Where we go from there, well, that all depends on whether or not you know that this is the way that it is.
August 12 & 21 journal + free write. Thank you.
Take care of yourselves.
