Beauty & melancholy

Coping with this disease ebbs and flows: no matter how much I actively surround myself with love and joy, do things that make me feel good, and give myself plenty of rest, I can still feel moments of temporary numbness and exhaustion; all part of the human experience, I suspect.

Our faith will naturally falter when there are additional contributing factors, i.e. hormone changes, S.A.D., stress, etc—but that’s life, isn’t it? Nothing is ever constant and nothing is permanent. We’re only here in the now, so it's best to take it all in stride, day by day.

Hugging myself a little harder as of late and not judging myself for having discouraging feelings. This too shall pass—and to everyone else: remember to exhale once in a while, will ya?

Love, k.
