Isn’t life strange? Does it just feel strange now? Has it always been this strange and the realization doesn’t hit until we’re older?

I find myself longing for “simpler” times. But what does that even mean? At every age and stage, life can feel overwhelming. The stressors change as we change. So was anything actually ever simple?

I think I just long for things to be better. I wish we could play outside with our kids and not have to worry about our government bombing kids playing in other countries. I wish all LGBTQ+ folks could live loudly and proudly in every part of our country, without fearing for their lives. I wish we had more leaders who worked for us, instead of so many actively working to harm us. I wish relationships were easier. I wish friends didn’t die. This list could go on. There are a lot of things that I wish for.

Things feel strange. Uncomfortable and hard, scary, shocking, weird, bad.

And even when things are bad, we have to keep going. We keep living. We keep finding joy in the midst of stress. We laugh in the midst of heartbreak. We love in the midst of darkness.

I am thankful for my community. I am thankful for love. I am thankful for the myriad ways we can still help each other. For supportive messages and sending flowers and making dinner together. For voting and protesting and reposting and donating and speaking our minds. For sitting in heaviness, holding space in our hearts, for not losing empathy. For challenging the evil in this world, for fighting for brightness and better days, for believing that there is better to come.

Life is strange and it is good and it always will be. We will feel all the ups and downs, forever and always. I guess I should be used to the cycle now, but it turns out I am still learning... 🩷
