A love letter to you all
From the Brave Girls Club
Dear Peaceful Girl,
When we are stuck in a situation where we don’t know anyone, or when others do not know us...even if it’s a situation that has been dragging on for years, it’s easy to pull away, to start to feel bad, or to make things up in our heads about why things are the way they are.
Often we wait for others to come to us and make an effort to really get to know us, and we get our feelings hurt when they don’t.
The path to peace in this situation, beautiful friend, is to treat all of those people the way that you are yearning to be treated...and then to expect absolutely nothing in return. Try to get to know them, show sincere interest in them....do little things to serve and love them and show them their value....write them little notes and always have a smile ready...and then walk away with happiness in your heart, but expecting nothing in return. Even if this kindness is met with unkindness at first....don’t give up...keep going and being the kind of person that you know to be.
This way...we have done what we know to be right and true...which always feels good. If the goodness is reciprocated, it is simply a wonderful surprise gift that will feel ten times more beautiful because we weren’t expecting anything to happen at all.
You can do it, friend....anywhere, anytime...you can be the person you have been waiting to meet.
You are amazing.

F - that doing a kindness without having any expectations of the result -- i call that dropping a love bomb. you just drop it and let it go. what happens next is out of your control. but you've done a mitzvah in any case.
