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.

This is one of the most beautiful and important things I’ve ever read. This just changed me. Thank you—wish you every sweetness and much happiness.
