The complexity of it all

Feeling joy and grief in the same breath

I originally wrote this piece in September 2021, yet I find myself feeling similarly this week. For anyone else who struggles to live in the space that exists between joy and suffering, perhaps these words can be an invitation to open ourselves to the complexity of all our emotions. May we find strength to have conversations with our communities—offline and surrounded by our loved ones—and create room for any and every feeling we have, even when they exist all at once. Wishing everyone rest this weekend. xx
