Tonight I dreamed I was a bird trying to get away from someone who was trying to catch me. Instead of flying high into the sky, I flew into a market hall where I couldn't escape. There was no place to rest. My legs (not wings?) got tired. Woke up when I was about to get caught.
We think we've evolved as mankind but we're still fighting over who owns what land. Who gave us the right to own land in the first place? Why do we think the earth is our property to begin with?
I am sick of seeing power hungry people with a lack mentality kill to take what they think they're entitled to. Mankind hasn't evolved at all. We're going backwards.
The meaning of life is in the moment. It can't be found in looking back to the past nor in looking forward to the future. The meaning of life then is what you choose it to be as you live it.

On Juneteenth, we commemorate the anniversary of the delayed but welcome news of freedom reaching the enslaved Black folks in Galveston, Texas. It’s a reminder that even in the darkest hours, there is cause to hope — and a reason to keep building a country that lives up to its highest ideals.
If you care about equal rights for yourself, you must also care for equal rights for people you don't necessarily understand or agree with. Taking away rights from certain people erodes equal rights for all people until only the most powerful are secured of their freedom.
Human rights concern each and every one of us. Especially as women, BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and other marginalized people we need to learn to stand with each other not despite our differences but because of our differences. The first to lose rights will be followed swiftly by the next.
This time,
I want it all
The deep feelings
Strong connection
Emotional conversations
The playfulness
Faithfulness
And the support
Because
If I can't go deep with you
We might as well go nowhere

People today may feel anxious about the future, but we can take strength from the fact that more and more of us are genuinely concerned to protect the environment, taking account of the welfare of the whole of humanity, as well as the health of the planet, our only home.
Dochter (5) maakt kleurplaat op tablet: mam, welke huidskleur zal ik doen? Ik als inclusieve ouder: bruin. Even later: kijk mama. Ik bedenk een bewust compliment: dat is een bruine eenhoorn met paarse haren. Zij: ja, schattig hè. Ik tegen ik: uh... Opvoeding gelukt?
Alles wat je NU doet om mentale rust en balans voor jezelf te creëren, geeft je een voorsprong om wat je in de toekomst wilt ook te krijgen.
Dat of iets beters.
Is het slim om nu te investeren in je huis terwijl je verwacht over een half jaar te gaan verhuizen? Als je je daardoor meer thuis voelt en als het zorgt voor tevredenheid en het je energie laat stromen: JA! Doe het.
Het grote geluk ligt niet in de toekomst of het verleden. Je kan geluk alleen nu ervaren. Laat alles wat je in de toekomst hoopt te bereiken los. Vraag je niet af hoe je het geluk van je verleden weer kan bereiken. Vraag je af wat je NU kan doen om NU gelukkig te zijn.
Er is er hier eentje zindelijk aan het worden hoor: "ik ga zelf naar de wc met mijn billen." 😂 #kinderpraat
