Your joy is for sale
...at the joy auction.
The one curated and set up by others.
The one you are invited to participate in.
You may not know when you accept the invitation, but your joy is an item for auction.
All it takes for the bidding to start is for you to decide who the lowest bidder is.
This can be a tiny inconsequential thing you allow to annoy you. Maybe a little bit of road rage at a stranger you may not see again. Or something else that won’t matter in five years.
With every anger you allow…
Every grumble…
Every worry…
Every unkind thought or deed…
You reset the price on the counter.
You decide who you choose to sell your joy to.
Careful so it's not always the lowest bidder. It always costs way more to buy it back.
