“Every day is about me.”
– Wednesday (Wednesday, Season 2, 2025)
‘Tis a cheeky, selfish thing to say, isn’t it?
But look at it again. There’s some wisdom there: we are – or should be – the lead in the movie of our own life. Yes, we should be of service to others in the community of life. Being of service comes back to us in many positive ways, including connection with and building of community (for we are social beings after all), through paying-it-forward, and so on.
Even Wednesday isn’t entirely selfish in her actions. She’s the hero of her own story, but also the hero of the school and hero of the community of Outcasts.
But we also need to care for self, and that’s what Wednesday’s phrase is reminding me. You have to care for yourself so that you’re able to care for others. ‘Tis a lovely, albeit cheeky, reminder, isn’t it?
Cheers & a good shoot to you,
Deb
