#Love them anyway

[live-laugh-love-mitski]

i once saw someone a youtube comment saying they’re eloping and it’s never not been on my mind when i think of them

insufferable about these old men

Okay I think

That we as fans have part of the fault for the hell that is whatever Bad and Skeppy have

Because they love teasing the shit out of us, and that is what makes it so not Even them know where the line between jokes and true feelings landed

Because, of course they it isn't genuine, it's just a fun gag, right?

It's a joke in the fandom, right?

It's okay to be a little jelous and obsesed mention each other ever SO often because the fans love it, right?

It's okay to be a little in love and write a song about each other with references to each other, right?

Love one another

“This I command you: love one another.”

That’s how today’s Gospel ends, with this commandment from Jesus.

Think of all of the things that God has commanded throughout history. Things like building an ark, leaving everything and going somewhere you’ve never been, offering sacrifices, etc.

Next to them, “love one another” sounds pretty easy. Until you actually try to do it.

Because there are two people who are going to make this difficult, who are going to make it hard for us to love one another. The people we’re trying to love. And us.

The people we’re trying to love won’t make this easy. Because they’re people. And people do stupid, horrible, unloveable things. All. The Time.

And yet, we’re called to love them. Without exception. Not just when they make it easy, but without exception. Even when they’re at their most unloveable.

Which is something that you and I can never do (not for long) without God’s help. If we’re smart, we won’t even try to do it on our own.

But when it comes to loving one another, you and I are an even bigger problem. Mainly for two reasons.

First, because we don’t know where to start. It would be nice if Jesus gave us some details. Maybe even a plan. But no. We just get told to do it.  

That’s actually enough. Because we don’t need an elaborate program (“5 easy steps to loving one another”).

As St. Frances de Sales (today’s saint) tells us, “you learn to speak by speaking, to study by studying, to run by running, to work by working; and just so, you learn to love by loving. All those who think to learn in any other way deceive themselves.”

And there’s the other reason. Knowing that it’s going to be trial and error, knowing that we’re going to make mistakes learning how to love? That sets us up to “what-if” ourselves, to second guess ourselves, to endlessly critique our first faltering steps. To the point that we just stop even trying.

The reason this happens? It happens when I trust the least reliable person in the world to give me advice on how I’m doing. It happens when I listen to me, the one person who can never give me an objective perspective on me.

This is absolutely the wrong perspective for me. Why?

Because I didn’t command me to do this. God did.

Which means that I have no business judging the quality of my performance. God alone determines whether it’s good enough. God sets the standard.

Which sounds even worse, until you find out what God’s standard really is.

“God takes pleasure in your smallest steps. And like a good Father who holds His child by the hand, He will accommodate His steps to yours and will be content to go no faster than you. Why do you worry?” – St. Francis de Sales

Damn it, I made Ortega sick. Now David has to deal with it and it's killing me.🙈

A few minutes later, David opened the door. Ortega was leaning against the doorframe, his helmet in his hand. His hair was stuck in the beads of sweat that had formed on his forehead, and deep circles under his eyes made him look years older. His breathing rhythm was disturbingly fast, as if he had just conquered a bull alone instead of a single flight of stairs. "Hell, you look like shit." Unusually, there was no retort, just a weak smile before Ortega's arms closed around his waist and his head rested far too heavily on his shoulder.

neocities guide - why you should build your own html website

do you miss the charm of the 90s/00s web where sites had actual personality instead of the same minimalistic theme? are you feeling drained by social media and the constant corporate monopoly of your data and time? do you want to be excited about the internet again? try neocities!!

what is neocities?

neocities is a free hosting website that lets you build your own html website from scratch, with total creative control. in their own words: "we are tired of living in an online world where people are isolated from each other on boring, generic social networks that don't let us truly express ourselves. it's time we took back our personalities from these sterilized, lifeless, monetized, data mined, monitored addiction machines and let our creativity flourish again."

why should I make my own website?

web3 has been overtaken by capitalism & conformity. websites that once were meant to be fun online social spaces now exist solely to steal your data and sell you things. it sucks!! building a personal site is a great way to express yourself and take control of your online experience.

Anyway

One of the greatest obstacles to peace is perspective.

Not just worrying about all that we have to deal with. Or making our problems bigger than they really are. But thinking that life is some sort of competition.

Trying to make sure that we get ahead of other people. Or thinking that we have to do things so that other people will think well of us.

When, at bottom, none of that matters.

The real standard for our lives, the only opinion about us that matters in the end?

It all comes down to God. And our relationship with Him.

It’s the truth behind the advice Jesus gives in today’s Gospel. And the point of the poem that Mother Teresa had painted on the wall of her home for children in Calcutta:

People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway.

What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight. Create anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway.

Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway.

In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.
