whispered wind and cracked cement

Things that don’t really matter

how you dress
if you have tattoos
if you swear (how you talk)
how much money you make
if the neighborhood thinks you’re awesome (by appearance because you can be awesome)
If you go on awesome trips (but also yes to this)

Things that do matter

how you treat random strangers, waiters, and those that can’t do anything back to you.
if you can hold space for others and their emotions and experiences.
how well you love.
how you respect boundaries
how kind your heart is

I was thinking on this again…

See others. Truly see them clearly.
love yourself and others.
Hold space and let others be as they are without worrying, trying to change them, or judging them.

That is peace.
