 Love is sadly foreign and unfamiliar to some people. No matter how much they're shown, how much they're given, they don't recognise it because they feel undeserving of it. It is a tragedy.  
 Sometimes the hardest thing to do is forgive yourself. 
 Same goes with loving ones self.  
 Alex, keep away from broken people 

You'll only get hurt 
 It is sad, it makes me sad. 
 Out of all the notes. I wish I could erase this from all nostr. Ban this from ever being mentioned. 
 Why 
 Too real. Feel seen 
 You are not alone. 🫂

 This is a fairly common issue among children of adoption. 
 It’s funny cuz everyone’s chasing money, power and fame when what they really want is love 
 Also, I would like to add this can be a common occurence among veterans as well. 
 Sad version of this in the US post-election world. It's like we can't recognize the opportunity for change when it's right in front of us.

"We love environmentalism and hate big pharma" 
"Here's a rock-solid environmentalist who wants to take on the corporations adding nasty stuff to our food and tricking you about pharma safety"
"NOOO! he's crazy"

"We want healthy soils and agriculture" 
"Well, how about this fellow who lives offgrid and grows his own food, helped by the foremost proponent of regenerative agriculture? This way of farming rebuilds soils and ecosystems"

NOO! they're linked to the bad man, so they must be bad


(I'm not holding my breath on major systemic change, but it's still cool to see some genuinely good ideas being put out there)
