Prompt: List 10 things you know to be absolutely certain.

We live in the world we create for ourselves.

I don’t know how else to describe this, and I’m not trying to advocate for some quantum-linked woo-woo thinking, but what you pay attention to matters.

What you encourage matters.

What excites you matters.

What you let your mind and heart get lost in matters.

Those are all within your control.

Mostly.

I say mostly because so many of us live inside chaos, whether the intimate horror of abuse or within the blast radius of large-scale atrocities, it’s probably hard to hear someone say “you create the world for yourself.”

What a privileged piece of nonsense.

Yes it is, and and it’s bullshit.

And it’s still true.

I had originally written something about defining world to fit into a space you can control, but honestly, I don’t know poo about crap.

I hope you can make a space, no matter how small, where you can breathe.

I hope you can find others who’ve made their own spaces, connect them together, and expand their reach and power.

I hope you can then fill the world with the breath of hope and love, expanding forever.

I hope you can breathe.
