Half-Truths, Suspicions, and Sacred Maybes…

Daily Writing Prompt: List 10 things you know to be absolutely certain.

Honestly? I don’t think I know anything for certain. Not a damn thing. Life seems to take great pleasure in proving me wrong the minute I get too sure of myself. But for the sake of this prompt, and in the spirit of throwing two fingers up to certainty, here’s what I suspect might be true:

  1. The universe has a twisted sense of humour.
  2. People will let you down, but they’ll also lift you up when you least expect it.
  3. Strong tea, bad language, and a long walk can fix what therapy sometimes can’t.
  4. If the ancestors are watching, half of them are shaking their heads and the other half are cheering me on.
  5. Grief is a shape-shifter; one day it’s a dull ache, the next it’s a full-blown ambush in the supermarket.
  6. The people who tell you to “stay positive” during chaos should be treated with suspicion.
  7. There’s more going on in this world (and beyond it) than we’ll ever understand, and thank God for that.
  8. Magic is real. It just doesn’t look like what we were told.
  9. You are allowed to be a beautiful contradiction, soft and fierce, spiritual and sweary, healing and utterly fed up.
  10. The day you stop caring what people think is the day you start getting to know yourself.

And I reserve the right to change my mind on all of the above by next week.

  1. As long as next week? I think your entitled to change them by the evening, if you ask me.

    Personal comment on #4: Agreed. And, for me mostly, there is the small handful who like to stick out their legs as I walk by just to see me faceplant.

    1. Exactly! I’m lucky if my opinions make it to tea time without a rethink. Life’s too short for set-in-stone decisions if you ask me! 😁 Oh, I hear you loud and clear.

      On number 4 – there’s always that select crew lurking with a metaphorical tripwire. But hey, all we can do is get up, dust off, and probably look better for the fall. 🧡
