Forging ahead. It’s not been the best year of my life. In fact | Encounter_HUMAN

Forging ahead. It’s not been the best year of my life. In fact, it’s been a downright awful one, but I’ve held fast to the belief that there is light ahead and that I (and we) are always wandering in the direction of that light at every moment, even if it’s impossible to see it during any given step or stage. I’m an optimist, but a melancholy one—the sort who doesn’t believe that everything is great, but knows it isn’t and believes that it’ll be okay anyway. Maybe a better word for that is faith.- reading cheryl strayed's newsletter
