Featured Monologue – Everyone’s Chasin’ Somethin’
RIZA: Yeah, I know this world is messed up in a lot of different ways, ways that I don’t always understand, but it’s not my job to understand, right? It’s my job to live out my life. I’m not tryin’ to save the world, start a revolution or any of that. But there’s so much trauma and badness out there, I figure that if I just keep strivin’ to do all the things I wanna do, keep bein’ happy and not hurt anyone by it, then I must be adding somethin’ good to the world, like givin’ out a good energy, ya know?
That’s what I try to do. Whether it’s smiling at someone I don’t know…or being kind to people in general, that has to count for somethin’, that has to add up to somethin’, right? They call that the domino effect, don’t they?
So, if you give good, it travels, if you give out bad, it travels…I try to give out good cause that’s what’s natural to me and let the rest take care of itself.
