sometimes life sucks

Life sometimes sucks.

I think it’s important to remember that. It’s not always butterflies and rainbows.

And it’s just part of being human.

Your dog dies. Your computer crashes and you lose an important project. Your car breaks down on your drive home to family. You’re fired from your job. You’re throwing up due to an allergic reaction as guests arrive to your house for a party. Your heat goes out on the coldest day of the year. You lose the people you love.

We need to let ourselves feel the pain, the emotion. And sometimes, especially at this time of year, it can feel like you’re the only one who’s hurting. But know, today and always, that you’re not alone.

Even though we each live through our own suffering, we’re going through it together. So find someone to lean on, someone to hug. And know that this, too, will pass. Even though it sucks right now.

Because I believe the old saying is true... that we experience the bad so we can appreciate the good.

And so good things are coming your way.
