I wish for this for all of us / by Evan La Ruffa

The thing about joy is that it's magnetic.

It's fuel for connection, a 100% renewable resource we communicate in our everyday. Little things, mostly. Smiles, small words, often aware, empathetic and conscious, all at the same time.

But it's a presence to lean into if we can get past the struggle we all traverse: ya know, being human.

We’re so small, yet so significant.

We’re individuals, yet so connected.

And getting trapped in a negative headspace is THE main factor keeping us from being a joyful presence for those around us.

So if we feel the capacity to give this type of positive, abundant energy, we should.

Every time.

And no worries, there’s no exclusivity agreement to it either. Being positive, kind, joyous, and magnetic isn’t a commitment to not being down, confused, or anxious sometimes. We all should reserve that right because I’m pretty sure those emotions are universal too.

Life isn’t always easy.

But if we can put out this force multiplier, this catalyst of seeing and being seen, we are as purposeful as a human can be.

I wish for this for all of us.
