It shows me my edges and teaches me how to be with discomfort.

If life is meaningless, it gives us the power to create our subjective narrative.

Anytime your happiness depends on an outcome, you set yourself up for disappointment.

Because it’s an everyday example of how we create suffering. We constantly think that if only we had the “other” jacket, car, job, vacation, partner, life—then we’d be ok.

We can't see our shadows—that's what's makes them so. It's impossible to see where we fall short and how our actions affect others.

There's power to vulnerably sharing your suffering because it gives others permission to own theirs. As the saying goes, what's most personal is most universal. As we drop the facade and let people in, we find the support we did and did not know we needed.
