i need to be kinder.
not that i've become any sort of mean, but radical kindness used to be my m.o., and i've noticed myself fading away from that -- becoming quicker to judge (or really, judging at all); sharper of tongue; and generally breeding energies that are not as fully positive as the ones that i really should be adding to the world.
saw kittie tonight and met some genuinely sweet metal fans. headbanged a little. left early (wish i hadn't).
then i went to a drag show and experienced a lot of cliquishness and cattiness.
i know exactly which of the two i prefer, any day, ever.
this is my recommitment to love and joy.

Which is to say, I hear ya. And re-commitment is good.
*hugs you*

*many hugs*

(ps the conditioner is REALLY HEAVY, so you only need to use a teeny teeny bit of it. but it smells delicious!)
