January 27: Radical hope and other rebellious acts.

One of the most radical acts of resistance right now?

Hope.

I saw this post on Facebook the other day that hit me square in the feels:

You're not doomscrolling, you're hopequesting.

You need those tiny pieces of joy from seeing friends and strangers share their art, their good news, their wacky unique selves.

We need light to live. And we find it in each other.

Last night, I was out with my sweetie, and we got into a deep convo about exactly that.

The world feels... heavy lately.

Like sandbags strapped to our souls, with headlines that scream, “Danger, doom, despair.”

And even though my life is amazing in so many ways—I’ve got good love, I’ve got purpose, I get to work with people I adore—it still gets to me.

And I realized something:

Those little moments of silliness, softness, sparkle?

They’re not distractions.

They’re how I thrive. .

Sharing laughter with my sweetie. Looking at silly memes. Watching Heated Rivalry content online. Following the explosive growth and success of Dungeon Crawler Carl…

Letting myself feel genuine delight in someone’s celebration, even if I don’t know them personally.

(You landed your dream job? Hell yeah. I’m thrilled for you, stranger-human.)

And writing this—writing to you almost daily—is part of that.

It’s how I gather my people.

It’s how I remember I’m not alone.

It’s how I call my community closer.

And how I help you call in yours.

Someone asked me anonymously this morning:

“What made you smile today?”

I want to ask you a twist on that:

What is giving you hope right now?

Tiny or huge.

Silly or soul-deep.

Fleeting or foundational.

Tell me.

Or, if you want to talk it through out loud, about dating, love, life, or whatever dream you’ve secretly been hoping for, grab a free 15-minute Big Ask consult.

Let’s make space for it.

Even if it feels like a longshot.

Even if the world says now’s not the time.

Because hope is not weakness.

It’s a radical strategy.

It’s how we win.
