Joy is sold as frivolous, but it is sacred.
An ally ship with my grief has shown me the vital importance and necessity of my joy.
Our world needs both. Our world needs us to feel both.
Narratives saying we can only hold one do us all harm.
Embrace your joy. Please. The world needs it desperately.
And embrace your grief. The world needs that too.
Nothing erases the grief, but learning how to be with it and live with it lets us feel again. It reminds us that feelings are vast...grief was just the first one at the door waiting to be let in.
