A tiny thought, provoked by my previous writing...

Not everything happens for a reason. Sometimes, bad things happen… just because. It’s life being unfair and unforgiving. Bad luck, perhaps. But no particular reason or higher meaning to it.

Nothing can prepare us for dark times, either. Reoccurring loss, sudden health issues, sickness or death of a loved one… It’s not like our previous experiences make these things any less painful. We still grieve, as much as we love.

The only thing that is within our hands is to make sure we’re taking good care of ourselves, continuously. To take all the time and space that we need to rest and get better. To surround ourselves with people who truly love and support us, and who are willing to show up.

And most importantly, to never stop asking for help.

Kindly,

Neva.
