Er…
This is important! Some thoughts on the journey thus far. Time isn’t everything. Power is something, and not nothing, and it’s important to wield it. We’re past imposter syndrome, it’s deserving and we’re now responsible. Owning up is special, but it’s possible to own and be selfish. There needs to be better words for selfishness, where it’s wake, and you still help rise tides for folks looking that direction. Goals are important as far as they set where we look while you do have to leave some things behind. Leaving behind something is necessary, it’s just a choice, just a moment, just a thought.
Movies that say their title in the script are corny and it’s good to be corny. “Damage is a glimpse of something honest, and that’s always attractive.” – Phoebe Waller-Bridge. To be corny is to live and let it happen. This time it seems harder since every moment seems measured and happening already to something else, but we can’t just stay and watch. At some point the movie ends, and we have to take what it started and not wait for someone else to tell you to go somewhere else. (Post-credits scenes, I’m looking at you.) We have the captive audience ready to move now. Why be scared to act? Being scared is already acting. Stop apologizing.
Greta Thunberg got it going. Her every move is measured and had already considered the impact it’s already giving. The wind moves her now and it’s probably going at a pace out of her control, yet at least she had already picked her direction. This is extremely motivating.
2019 seems like a precipice for something, as much as 2020 seems like something to be wary about. There’s been times like this before, and every year I might sit on that regret. I try to look like Karamo because I want to feel like he does. There’s no steps backward. “Each moment in my life that I viewed as horrible or hurtful at the time was actually a message that I needed to receive”. There’s only one timeline. That limitation is actually what frees us.
Our mountains watch us while we make our noise. When we’re done, we’re all the same. Equal in all differences. Thankful for this land, this house, this life. Giving thanks should be simultaneous! But its not, we can try.

Just a thought.
