See the Rat

This life, this day, this moment, may feel strange. Overwhelming. Heavy. But... Look at the lighter side! Learn how to smile. To laugh. To love. To care. To have cheer, and to cheer on others around you! Feel that warmth. Feel that joy rising up, because as you're reading this you're finding a positive. Smile, my friend. You are loved! This little fur baby on my shoulder... A rat. Some may find her disgusting. Trash. A rodent unworthy of love and care... Some may compare other people to this rat... But, what do I see? Love. Calm love. Care. Snuggles. Playfulness. When we look beyond the outer appearance, past our assumptions, not being prejudice... We can see a different side of what or who we are looking at. Disgusting unworthy thing? Or snuggly, loving friend? Seek that positive, love. Seek that light and beauty. Reach deep, my friend. Get past that fear. Get past that prejudice. Get past your surface assumptions. Experience what could be. Give someone a chance. Talk with them. Get to know them. Seek their beauty. Seek their light. Find a positive. Try taking another look. You may see things differently, if you just try to find a positive. Whatever you do, love. Become love. Become inspiration. Become light. Become beautiful, and let yourself flow and shine with love.
