But they are real, and in those moments I do not counsel denial or insincerity. When suffering is too real and immediate for joy, find relief however you can without damaging yourself or others. If it doesn't work, try again or try something new. And keep a dim vision of future joy in mind.

A friend we lost shared this philosophy with me a long time ago. I still think about her almost every day not because she’s gone or even because of all her amazing advice, but because you remember the people in your life who bring support, love, and fun even when things are dark and scary.
Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce.

Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.

Yeah, I'm still not finished with today's schoolwork.

So I'll do a big long profound social media thread!

Pretty much any time I start navel-gazing on here, you can bet I had set aside that time for studying or writing.
