Today’s post: A setback is something that happened. It isn’t something you are.

Just because it’s real doesn’t mean it’s right. Not every truth needs a sharp edge. Because kindness grows from love. -Today’s post. Have a good one 😊

Hey, @Apple please don’t be rude and disrespectful by changing Lake Ontario to Lake America like @Google did. Lake Ontario was named by indigenous people long before the USA even existed. Stay respectful.

I’ve seen this quote before and I think the idea of Glimmers is so cool. I hope you find some glimmers today.

My thoughts today. Some days, healing looks less like rising and more like refusing to disappear. There are mornings when the heart wakes slowly, still carrying pieces of yesterday. Not every battle announces itself. Some arrive quietly, wearing ordinary hours.

Running. I spent years trying to outrun myself. Racing, panting, hiding. Taking the back roads, creating hollow shadows. Grasping at survival. Moving fast enough that the ghosts couldn’t quite catch me. But what I didn’t know was they were wearing my face. And sooner or later every road ended with me.

I hope everyone is having a beautiful day…

Today’s post. Those that walked before us were not heroes. Just people trying to survive. Some broke, healed, or did a bit of both. They carried grief. Made mistakes. Loved imperfectly. Still, they kept going. Maybe that is the real inheritance. Not perfection.

Softer than my usual edgy writing here’s today’s poem. I hope you find your shelter when you need it.

I’m constantly amazed at the strength that people carry. The trials that they overcome. So, here’s a poem to honour the warriors. The entire poem is on mandyricks.com I’d love it if you dropped by.
