Everyone that walks past you today, they're going to feel it.

And you can't hold onto it.

You can't hold onto this feeling.

You have to pass it on.

I don't even think you realize how powerful it is just to exist as a joyful person on the street or in this world.

You pass it on.

You let other people know that it's okay to be happy.

You let other people know that actually this is all for fun.

All of this is for fun.

And you can become this glitch in the matrix.

that when people look at you and you smile, they remember that a kind world exists.

And that's amazing.

Your joy is contagious.

Think about those times where you have walked past someone in the morning and you can just see they have this little, maybe they've just come back from like a one night stand or it's a girl smiling at her phone or something.

And it gives you joy seeing someone lit up like that.

You can do that for other people.

Your joy is so fucking important.

It is the least, least selfish possible thing that you could embody yourself.

Because it doesn't stay in you.

It leaks out.
