gentle

i think this is really true that none of us really knows what we're doing in this life. ultimately none of us have lived this life before. we don't get a practice run. we're just figuring out ourselves and each other as we go.

this idea leads to another. why not be a little more gentle with ourselves? the choices we've made were made in a moment. and unfortunately sometimes moments come and go faster than we notice. each moment that we experience is completely new and unexplored territory. it would be silly to expect that we should never make a mistake when feeling out new experiences. so be more gentle with yourself.

and then, why not be more gentle with each other? we're all in the same world. i'm just like you and you're just like me.
