those little red dots

i guess it looks kinda stupid, but i put little red dots by my thumbs, as a reminder to stop…. to be aware of what i’m thinking and what my mouth is putting out and if it isn’t, kind and necessary then i need to ”stop”

like the signs on the corner that caution me to look both ways, i need to be present and accountable for the part i play, cause if i’m not helping then i’m in the way, and if i can’t be a blessing then i’m just taking up space

sounds kinda extreme that i would need this dot to remind that it’s better to be conscious then to walk around blind, but the truth is, i easily forget how an unkind word can put me in a ditch and i am inclined when i get in this spot to keep on digging and get more in a knot

so at the risk of having others think it’s odd, i’ll wear these reminders and all will be fine

i have come to this place and i like it a lot, it’s called ”the land of the conscious” and you determine  your part

today I have a choice

do what you need to do to stay there
