Life is uncertain
and we know that more now. We can feel sad, exhausted, and all the rest, while
simultaneously feeling grateful for what we do have. We are capable of feeling
two feelings at once, even if they contradict each other.
It’s okay to
feel scared of what this “new” world will be like.
It’s okay to
worry if things will ever get back to “normal.”
No one knows
when this will “end” but we can’t control that. We can only control how we
react to what we feel on the inside.
Some days, it
will be easier said than done to be positive, and other days it will be easy.
Throw away the judgment of trying to be ultra-positive all the time; it’s
physically impossible. There’s a balance that comes with struggle and
gratitude, they go hand in hand.
Grieve as you
need; do all the self-care in the world. Seek support or a therapist if you
can.
Take things
one step at a time—because sometimes that’s all you can do.
We're all going to be fine. I hope people continue to be careful. It would be nice if we lived in a world that was mindful. Keep breathing. We'll be fine.
