This is your friendly, public service reminder that you can’t force it.

Dearest, darling, wonderful you. Forcing the issue doesn’t seem to work.

What issue?

All of them.

Love, enlightenment, creativity, health, a damn good party.

All of life’s best stuff cannot be forced. It seems it must be planned for (could be on paper, could be in your heart), worked toward, then surrendered to & allowed.

All of life’s hardest stuff cannot be forced. It seems it must be accepted (and if you live in my house, researched the hell out of), then surrendered to & allowed.

Your opinion, getting them to change their mind, making sure they toe the line. Cannot force.

The health prognosis, the intensity of the world, sleep. Cannot force.
