Some days seem to sail by. You’re not quite sure where they went, but you woke up, stuff happened, and then it’s done. It was easy and there weren’t any bumps to trip on or holes to fall into (…there were, you just navigated around them).
Other days feel like they have thorns. They can snag and tear at your skin a bit. Things drop, break and bang. They are uncomfortable and bristly and seem to last for a hundred years.
Both days will come and go.
Be proud of yourself for getting through the tough days. You have earned your own respect. On the good days, don’t forget to look around and breathe it in. You are living life in all its heady, unpredictable complexity.
Days come and go, but the moments that make up the days are where your life is lived. Don’t waste, squander, or resent the moments, even on those thorny days. Every minute belongs to you. Breathe through it and keep going.
