The D Brief: Be the Revolution
“You cannot buy the revolution. You cannot make the revolution. You can only be the revolution. It is in your spirit, or it is nowhere.”
— Ursula K. Le Guin
The revolution isn’t out there. It’s in how you choose to live, love, and show up.
Revolutions don’t always look like protests.
Sometimes they look like quitting a job that poisons your spirit.
Or calling your mom back.
Or refusing to numb out, even when everything tells you to.
We’re in a weird, pressurized moment.
Truth feels slippery. Systems feel broken.
It’s easy to wait for something big to change.
But that waiting? It’s a trap.
You don’t have to fix the world.
But you do have to decide what kind of person you want to be in it.
Tiny acts of courage ripple.
Integrity is contagious.
Live like you mean it.
That’s the real uprising.
In it with you,
D
