I'm trying to remember, I'm trying.


Most of the time, nothing is ever as big a deal as it seems right now. Death is a big deal, irreversible, and obviously life-altering, but other than that, it really isn't as big of a deal as you think it is.

We all have heard of people who through the truly most life-altering of times, full family deaths, loss of limbs, mobility, cancer, and other seemingly huge deals, come to find out that while the next breath is difficult, after many, the angst begins to fade and the perseverance and tenacity that is our life on Earth carries on.

So, don't sweat the small stuff, and really, dont sweat the seemingly big stuff. All fades and ebbs. Over time, our stories become triumphant, living, changing. That horrible experience with the boyfriend in high school becomes insight, the death of a loved one, a lesson in love. We tell ourselves there are reasons, and maybe there are. But, regardless, big stuff becomes small, small becomes big, and then small. The recursive spirit of hope, breath, and ultimately of life.

So, remember, dont sweat the small stuff and most is small. Keep calm and carry on for it is in the next breath that it becomes easier to breathe.
