The simplest cruelty we can perform on another human being is to mock<\/p>\n
the sound they make during the moments they find joy<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
To see a living breathing person with hopes, and dreams, and love<\/p>\n
and turn their happiest moments to ash in their mouths<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
To the vultures who circle for everyone\u2019s light:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It is my sincerest wish for you that you always get pulled over for broken taillights<\/p>\n
That you never have enough milk for your cereal<\/p>\n
That you don\u2019t realize this until after you\u2019ve poured your Lucky Charms<\/p>\n
That you mistake your Nair for toothpaste<\/p>\n
May you develop a spice intolerance to every seasoning but butter<\/p>\n
May your alarm clock break every second Tuesday night<\/p>\n
May it sometimes not go off in the morning<\/p>\n
May it sometimes keep ringing till it shatters on the wall<\/p>\n
May your coffee always be cold, but never iced<\/p>\n
May your favorite kind of coffee be lava<\/p>\n
I wish for you no illness<\/p>\n
But an allergy to every domesticated animal known to man<\/p>\n
An intolerance for allergy medication<\/p>\n
And a deep, inconsolable love for all things four-legged<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Most of all, I wish for you this<\/p>\n
That every moment of joy that you steal from someone\u2019s lips<\/p>\n
Be multiplied tenfold in your misery<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
