I'm not a poet, I'm a trapeze artist.
When someone is nasty, rude, hateful, or mean with you, pretend they have a disease. That makes it easier to have empathy toward them which can soften the conflict.
I'm a true believer that if you put in the work, the results will come.
"We don't take ourselves too seriously, we just have fun."
I think it's important to be able to laugh at yourself.
