There will always be someone in this life who just doesn’t like you, no matter how hard you try to please them.

There will always be something that you say, or do, which causes offence or division. Whether you meant to or not.

There will always be someone who finds fault in you, your life or your words.

You may never find out why.

Please don’t waste your precious time trying to.

You can not be everyone’s cup of tea.

Then there will be those who like you on impact. A little fizz of energy that passes between you. Silently, unseen, bonding.

Those people will not only like you but they will like you fiercely. They are your people. Whatever spare time you have, spend it on them.

You can not be everyone’s cup of tea, but you can be someone’s first sip of a cold drink on a sunny day…

Or a warming hot chocolate when you come in from the rain…

Or the pop of a long awaited champagne cork…

Or a stiff shot of tequila when things go awry…

Find your people, love them hard.
