You are worrying about paying your bills and finding a new job.
Those are worries about tomorrow.

Pretend you are an alien from a distant galaxy -
that should be good for a laugh.
Troubles only appear troubling to those close to them.

keep what is worth keeping, and then,
with a breath of kindness, blow the rest away.

the last conversation you had with them -
they're who they've been

Don't take it personally.
