Note To Self

Capturing memories
With a net full of holes
Tends to let slip the good ones
And leave only trolls

Focus on treasuring
The joys that you feel
Instead of rehashing
Wounds that won’t heal

Pull happiness inwards
And let it take root
Be generous with others—
Kindness bears fruit

When your spirits are bright
And and you’re in a good mood
Find someone who’s touched you
And express gratitude

Put down the net
Let your emotions fly free
Don’t let fear crush you
Peace out, and let it be
