Enduring

The hardest thing to accept is that some seasons of life are just meant to be endured. Not enjoyed. Not optimized. Endured. And that’s okay. Not every chapter is fun. Some are just necessary. – @scottdclary

There’s an insidious idea out there, that you should always try to reframe and look on the positive side of things. Stay hopeful. Find the fun in things. There’s always an angle you can smile at. Or an inspiring lesson buried underneath it all.

But that’s not true. And often, self-denying.

It’s okay that things are bad.
It’s okay that you can’t do sh*t.
It’s okay that hope is a rare find.

It’s okay.

You may never learn anything from it.
You may never find a drop of joy.
You may never see it as fun.

It’s ALL okay.

All that matters is you endure it with diginity and honor.
That’s all that matters.
