I'm often surprised by what disheartens me the most about this world.
Last week, as per usual, I saw a lot of terrible things on the internet and a lot of hardship in real life.
I did not expect that *numbers* were going to break me - but the sheer size of certain penalties was an ugly reminder of how much of a game our world truly is, with *so, so* many bearing the everyday price of that inequality.
We have enough to do enough.
But we don't. And we won't.
And that just gutted me on Friday.
But hey, I guess I learned a new trigger for myself!
And that ain't nothin'.
We do a decent job of living fairly normal lives between hits of terrible news and run-ins with worldly suffering, don't we?
We really do.
So don't you dare feel bad for laughing where you can, loving where you can, and just being your full, silly, quirky selves where you can.
And if it hits harder than usual one day: the absolute *shittiness* of the world?
Don't you dare feel bad for taking a breather, too. 💙

Eh, we have *some* sages up north, too! And every Canuck of my era learned all about how to patch up shitty situations from this guy.
