ok so i was walking quietly when four little kids came bouncing toward me, as if they had known me forever. they introduced themselves, raised their hands when they wanted to speak (but spoke anyway), asked questions, told stories, and showed off their cartwheels. what kind of energy were they on? oh yes they’re kids!!! and they just wanted to share, to listen, to laugh, and to learn. they were NOT on their phones. they wern’t looking for something to distract them or somewhere else to be. they were just there. present and unfiltered… and they reminded me that there is something beautiful about being unfiltered. about approaching people without an agenda. as we age some of us still carry that child along.. the one who still gets excited about the smallest things, who isnt afraid to ask, who laughs a little too loudly, who wants to know your name and hear your story… so maybe my encounter today was a little reminder that sometimes the best moments come from people who dont think twice about being themselves.

Gossip can feel small until you see what it does to a soul and a community.

when genZ sees this, they will point to parents(the genx) for poor parenting 😂 @grok is it the same gen z victimhood dynamics in university behaviour?

“The middle finger gesture as an insult dates to at least the 5th century BC in ancient Greece. In the modern West, the gesture is widely said to have been reintroduced or popularized in the US in the late 19th century, partly via Italian immigrants, with the earliest known photograph from 1886.”
