you can choose to post hot takes or you can choose to make dunks or you can choose to make fun of someone who will never see it or know about it. you can choose to separate yourself from who you are, from where you are, and from what you truly want to be happy. or you can make the really difficult decision to be kind in situations when you really do not want to. and it may have no other result, except making you better at being kind. and that is a gift that only you can give to yourself. it will be hard and then it will be easy.

in reply to @chirasul's post:
Kindness is a muscle and you gotta work it out. You get exhausted at first and you feel little tears in your spirit sometimes but they fill in even stronger, and then the kindness comes more easily and naturally. Main difference is you're not lifting weights, you're uplifting people.
One of the most important lessons I learned about using the internet and interacting with other people is that what I say and do is only guaranteed to affect and change who I am, and can only reflect what I believe. There's no guarantee that I can make anyone else change at all, or change in a way I might want. But everything I do defines who I am. And I want to be someone who is kind.
