Stop trying to be clever.
Long pause.

This is hard. All of it. Life. Making it work. Dealing with the stress. Constantly looking out for danger. Constantly being exhausted. Constantly being edgy and testy and saying the wrong thing in the wrong tone.
Celebrate the moments. Laugh. You’re not alone.
Life is hard work from start to finish. Learning to breathe. To eat. To crawl and sit up. To walk. To speak. Then to communicate. Growing up. Searching for meaning. For your calling. Finding love. Working hard to sustain it. Fighting illness and age and the weight of existence. The world’s dilemmas. Knowing you can’t possibly fix everything in your lifetime.
Control is the enemy and yet we constantly seek it. It can take decades (and in humanity’s case eons) to learn that letting go is the ultimate control.
