FYI It gets better.  You find better. You experience better. You become better.  Time changes everything.  What we feel now will fade and something else will take precedence in our lives.  We are dynamic creatures and we need to remember that moments pass and things can always pivot for the better just as easily as they can turn against us.  We take those experiences and build on them to become the best versions of ourselves.  As cliché as it may sound, no one is meant to stay down forever.  Everything blooms but not always at the same time.  So when things get really rough and we forget who we are for a minute, take a deep breath and remember that with a little time the light changes, the circumstances change, and suddenly everything is different. And one last reminder: all those things we feel are so important and that we can’t live without them, the things we feel need our immediate attention—one day that will all seem laughable.  It won’t matter.  Just stay the course and trust it will all go up someday.
