I’m tired of cynicism, skepticism. I’m tired of everyone assuming that when I do nice things for someone, I’m trying to get something back, or that I have ulterior motives, or that I’m building an unhealthy relationship with that person. I’m tired of people not realizing that sometimes we do things because we actually care, we actually want others to be happy. My Christmas eve rant on cynicism is my Christmas wish this year: let us all just cherish — not examine, or deconstruct, or criticize, but enjoy and cherish — the beauty and love around us, every day.
