You still have to live. I remind myself that when feeling sad about upsetting circumstances. It’s okay to be sad about something, to resonate with the true feelings of a situation. But it shouldn’t rob us of our overall vivacity, the miracle that is life in this universe. We still enjoy an amazing experience being alive, one that is exhilarating and meaningful. Seeing the big picture, on the biggest possible scale of time and space, helps buoy our spirit. There’s sorrow in this existence, but also joy and excitement. It’s all part of our human experience, and in totality, it’s a pretty wonderful thing. Embrace it wholly, with your tribe, for the limited amount of time we have together. Together we live.
