Keep the Change

You ever wonder about the phrases that are passed for generations? Words of wisdom that stuck, and became the whispers in the wind. They don’t have to be mystical in the verbiage, some are quite generic. Anyhow, today I am very curious, about the nature of giving. There is always a loop hole. Ha, that happens to be one of those sayings. I have used it frequently in my life’s travels. Honestly, I think most who are capable of problem solving have this core belief. Anywho, I am getting off track trying to explain what I am explaining. So I have these folks that walk into my day to day life, daily. Part of my duties of serving as an economic slave. (Speaking in code because rules state I cannot state where I make the moola 💰, hmm 🤔 or is it code) Again, chomps gum and twirls hair. LOL, it's this condescending way of speaking I do that got me the name “Alice”.

Some of these folks are quite sweet in their presence. Polite, acknowledging my existence, seeing me more for who I am than what I look like I am. Then you have the other grade A assholes, the end betweens, the head tilters, the hmmm coughs cunther’s, ohh sorry Karen’s, the pervs, the anal retentives, the slobs, never ending amount of diversity I witness daily, and I love it all. To my point. So, they say (all the self help gurus and majestics) that you are not to give unless you feel it. Meaning you must have joy in giving, OR it’s not truly giving. Not authentic. So, you start getting into energy transfer, and all that jazz. So let’s say you have an asshole that came in totally hating on life, throwing it around the air, making it well known, gets frustrated with how you're not moving at his pace, and walks out saying “keep the fucking change.” Tips allowed yeah, but I have a purpose for all the change I receive. So if it’s left to me like that, am I building something from the combined energy of an asshole? I mean I would say yes, and haha it takes all kinds. Shit another wisdom whisper. Does the energy change from me merely understanding the assholes demeanor and having compassion? Does following suit to not look a gift horse in the mouth affect things? Fuck, thinking is fun, and cool. I wish more people would do it.

I have accepted change, yes nickel and diming it for my dreams daily. Many have asked how I do it. I find a way. I make sacrifices. I change. I move. I accept an assholes change, I accept a Karen’s, I accept the change from strangers, pocket full after pocket full with the same amount of gratitude as receiving from the kind spirits, because I transmute the energy by being grateful. When you are building your dream, every penny counts. So change jar is one of my methods of saving. So, no matter if it’s 2 cents or 95 cents there are strangers who donate to my cause without knowing it, and I am grateful. This does not mean I’ll take it where ever I can get it. This situation is in a controlled and safe environment, and I am not doing anyone any favors. I do draw the line somewhere.
