Thankful

I’m thankful to my parents for the rough times we had. They prepared me to have a backbone, to learn to endure without them.

Losing parents has allowed me to experience life in a new way, to learn how to sit with discomfort and grief, and not care much, if at all, about what others think.

Once you lose the people who connected you to the universe, who could provide you with the most profound sense of love, nobody else’s love or hate matters.

I’m very aware we do not have as much time as we think, and it’s important to learn how to live with less, even people.
