We’ve heard it and we know it. Without each end of the continuum, we’d never appreciate the fullness of emotion and impact of the extremes. It’s great in theory.
Practicing this when you’re in the middle of it all, that’s another thing. It’s that hindsight is 20/20 thing.

It’s worth it.
Hang in there.
You’ve got this.
Begin again.
