“Im both the sad person and the person wanting to comfort the sad person. And then I feel sad for that person who has so much compassion because she’s clearly been through the same thing. And the cycle keeps repeating. I’m sad for an infinite number of my selves”

holding space for one without the other will inevitably lead one into depression. knowing life is both beautiful and horrible at the same time is the best way. and! existing in the world with the assumption that everyone is grieving makes one’s perspective a more compassionate one.

It's a really crazy thing to experience, grief is a feeling that is shared-- I think-- across animals, it's one of the deepest feelings we have that is also felt by others, not just humans. But since I can only speak for humans, here it is. I think grief is about as bittersweet as it gets. Grief is the feeling of absence; the feeling of losing a love that was once there, which is to say, there is a part of you that go to experience that love and that's something to be grateful for. I've found that grieving people who are still alive is so strange, there's always a part of me that wants to will the person back into my life but I always wonder if it's worth it. Sometimes I also grieve for my younger self. All the endless possibilities of what I could've been if the circumstances were different. It can make you spiral a bit, so I suppose a word of advice (that no one really asked for and that's okay): find ways to ground yourself, find people who help you ground yourself, and always remember that you're here and that's enough.

Lately sadness has been visiting. We’ve talked about why they‘re around, and I understand. They can stay as long as they need.
I don’t need them to change, or leave. They’re with me while I’m making waffles with my son. They’re with us on our trip to the record store to buy a gift for my sister. I make space for them when it’s needed, otherwise they’re just another part of the gang. It’s not a problem to be solved. Their existence just requires an expansion of loving to wrap them in. Sadness deserves kindness and gentleness, too.
