They painted these benches bright yellow a bit ago.
The aggrandisement of those who con and hurt others that we are committing is disgusting.
Recommendation here: If you have Disney+ I recommend watching “God Forbid.”
I love when I see marketing on Instagram and TikTok that says “We have the SECRET to getting 10 million views and hundreds of thousands of followers within a month! Click the link below to get (buy) this secret for yourself!”

We all worry about striving and achieving. We all look at people who’ve reached fame and acclaim and wish we could have that. Often times we place our worth on what we’ve achieved instead of who we are, our character, or the relationships and effects we have on others. At least, I’m often guilty of that. But here’s the thing. We were recently watching Top Gun: Maverick and my Girl walked in and asked about it.
Andrew said, “That’s Tom Cruise. It’s TOM CRUISE.”
And without any guile, she asked, “Who’s Tom Cruise?”

So love, laugh, and above all, be kind.
