Grief is not a purely negative emotion. Over time, sadness is joined by love and gratitude.
The purpose of grief is not to cause pain. It's to keep memories of loved ones alive and remind us to make the most of our time.
Moving forward is not about erasing sorrow. It's about gaining perspective.
On major life decisions, the purpose of seeking advice is not to get answers. Itโs to gain perspective.
No one knows what's best for you. They can only share what makes sense to them.
The most important question to ask is not what you should do. It's what you might be missing.

Whether it's volunteering at a local school or taking soup to a sick neighbor, improving the welfare of others can also improve our own physical and mental health, a sizable body of research shows.

To Live in this world you must be able to do three things: to love what is mortal; to hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it; and, when the time comes to let it go, to let it go. - Mary Oliver
Hello, have a Mary Oliver poem this lovely Saturday!

Self-esteem should come from character, not success or status. The highest accomplishment is to be a person of generosity, integrity, curiosity, humility, and wisdom.
I loved my friend. He went away from me. There's nothing more to say. The poem ends, Soft as it began, โ I loved my friend. - Langston Hughes

I will not regret love I will not regret hope I will not regret that I still Love the trees and the wind song. That even through grief I have found the world generous. That even through ruin I have found solace In the blackbirds call.

My new favorite word: sonder.
It's the profound awareness that every person you encounter has experienced a lifetime of hopes, fears, loves, and heartaches that you'll never know.
Each moment of sonder is a reminder to appreciate how little we truly grasp about others' lives.
