Lemonade potential đ
A lemon just is.
It doesnât spend its time
telling you sour things
are bad. That is
a fruitless effort.Instead, it radiates
into your experience;
you taste its zap-sour
yellow heart for yourself.Itâs not a lemonâs job
to be sweet. It is not
your place to demand
that it be so. It is your jobto add sugar to the sour things.
Donât disparage yourself
when in fact, with a little love,
you have lemonade potential.
This is my attempt at reminding you: self-deprecation isnât always the same as self-protection. Be yourselfâeven if that means you are sourâbut donât fool yourself into thinking thatâs bad. Youâre loved with sweetness to balance.
