(i am overwhelmed!my brain isn’t working)
things have been good and bad, and bad and good. i am confused by the duality of it all. life is so simple yet complex. so beautiful yet sinister. i’m so terrified but at the same time i think (…?) i’m in awe.
how do you find beauty in suffering? that is something i can’t seem to wrap my head around. tonight i watched a movie about the syrian war (For Sama) that reminded me of all the unspeakable horrors life can throw at us. a stroke of (un)luck, and i could have been living a life of blood, tears, helplessness. how do you make sense of a senseless war? how do you stay grounded when all that you know and love is uprooted? i am overwhelmed with questions i don’t have answers to. all i know is that i am very, very grateful for the life i have now.
(ps. give thanks without turning your gratitude into guilt)
