Yesterday was a trivial and trying day. Some bad news, some good news, and no knowledge of how to handle it. When emotions collide, very stark emotions collide, it is hard to choose which one should overwhelm you more or if one should overwhelm the other in the first place. Should the bad news overwhelm the good or vice versa? I know I surely do not know. I want to be happy in light of the good news but stop myself, because how can you be happy in the presence of something so gut wrenching, heart breaking, and draining?
Another thing. I advise everyone to believe in fallibility and mortality. No one is invincible and no one is immortal. Moments are also to be cherished with whomever you come into contact with. Whether they be family or friends, make them count. Even a stranger who you happened to have a deep conversation with in a ticket line should count. We are dispensable. We are weak without these connections. These connections are what make our human race strong and unique. Value them.
