Funny to believe that anything "out there" will actually make us happy.

Funny to hold onto negative feelings about someone who took something from us

when in reality that thing was never ours in the first place.

The Universe simply repurposed it, moved it on to fulfill the plan in a way our small perspective

doesn't like.

It is so much more valuable to have a peaceful mind

and a loving heart

then to "get" that thing we think we lost back.

I lost $100 and a bike to two people I thought I could trust

Two people I care deeply about.

But holding that grudge... man costs way more

and is a catastrophic negative return on investment.

So like the Buddha said it's time to

"Let that shit go".

I won't lend money or bikes to either of those two again

but I'll stop hardening my heart

stop letting the past harsh my mellow

and I'm even letting myself engage in kind acts and conversation.

There's a lot more to it

But in the end, it always

ALWAYS

Seems like love wins.
