We'd all be lying if we said we weren't out to save the world. I know. You've (probably) never worn your underwear purposefully outside of your pants, your idea of casualwear (probably) isn't a spandex bodysuit, and the only cape you've ever worn was that dishtowel you wouldn't take off when you were six.
You are not the evangelist screaming in his multimillion dollar church about living modestly, and you are not that hobo guy on the street with his cardboard sign lecturing about the END TIMES.
But this isn't really about that. This is about the thousand ways people die every day, though none of them actually involve purple flags and a motorcade.
This is about how maybe you recycle religiously, or how maybe you had exact change, or how maybe you made small talk in an elevator, or how maybe you were patient in traffic, or how maybe you meant it when you said "Have a Nice Day". This is about waving to your mailman. This is about throwing out that plastic bag on the ground. This is just.....about you.
Don't be a liar. Go save the world.
Quote of the day: "There is no such thing as small change."
Poem of the day:
Let's make a mark-
Lovely, imperfect,
Bleed life into black ink.
They might be only words, but we find
Permanence in transience, because
contradictions are the only logical things.
Anyhow, there's patches of flame on the
Sidewalk, where the rain runs clean.
But they remain unmuted, and
It's not harmony, but it's close enough.
Let's take it all for granted.
Drip sunlight onto white pages.
It might only be illumination, but
we find hope in arbitrary inspiration
and though it might be a train,
we're still walking, aren't we?
TAFNF,
Elena Grace
