Investigative Selfism

I hope you’re doing things out of love.

I hope when you check yourself – when you ask what you’re about – it is love, ultimately, that you find at your core.

If it’s studying, I hope it’s because of your love for learning and empowering yourself.

If it’s having a hard conversation, I hope it’s because of your love for the relationship it addresses and how much healthier it can be.

If it’s doing political work, I hope it is because of the love for people you might not know and might never meet.

If it’s travelling to a new place, I hope it’s because of your love for humanity and this insanely beautiful planet.

If it’s taking care of yourself, I hope it’s because of your love for that inner child who might not know there’s an adult to protect and care for them them now.

If it’s speaking out against the rise of Fascism, I hope it’s because of your love for all the people it threatens (and your heart, because it does).

I hope it is never out of fear, hate, and smallness.

I hope we all find that love and talk about it shamelessly. I hope we act out of it and on it.

If you think the world doesn’t need it, look deeper ❤️

PS. Find my political work that I mention so often here.
