Seriously though...
In a world so full of "new and improved," (which by the way is impossible because if something is new it cannot be also improved), RESIST.
Resist the urge to buy something new and presumably better. Make something yourself. Reuse or re-purpose an item you already have. Use your own two hands, your imagination, your passion. Feel it. Put love into what you make.
Too often we opt for the easy way out, the microwavable, the pre-packaged, the brand new, wrapped up in a pretty box with a bow no less.
I love bows.
Why? Because it is EASY and we like easy. We like things easy so much that there is a person out there sitting on a fortune because he invented an easy button; but easy isn't always better.
The best meals take time to prepare, children years to mold, animals countless hours of love and training. And when I see people giving up puppies after owning them for 8 months and parents in the supermarket degrading their children and families eating exclusively from packages, seperated form the soil it makes me wonder.
Who told them it was supposed to be easy? Who is selling this fairytale?
Life isn't easy and it wasn't intended to be.
It is easy to open a box and set a timer, easy to keep feelings locked up inside, easy to ignore problems that need attention but late at night, when it is just you and your thoughts, easy won't be so...
