So, I have a dear friend who is just struggling with some things in her past right now. She is really beating herself up over it, and it is so hard.
Sometimes, it just takes time to heal. You can't get out of that bad place any faster, and there is nothing you can do about it but sit with your grief. Sit with your anger. Sit with your pain.
It sucks.
Waiting for your heart to heal is hardest thing in the world, so we really need to show each other some compassion when it comes to dealing with painful emotions.
We're all gonna have 'em. We all have people we love, and we're all growing and changing every day.
Nothing is ever going to make perfect sense, but it doesn't have to, right? We are stuck in this weird position of being subjective human beings in an imperfect world. The moment you think you know something, you might be screwed.
Accept that you are alive today. That the world is a great place to be, and you have the opportunity to make positive decisions for yourself, for the people you love, and for your community.
In the immortal words of Tom Graesser, the best middle school English teacher and sports coach ever, "Confucius says: Let's be careful out there. Thanks for coming."
