Address the Present Moment

My fabulous aunt introduced me to the blog by Flux Capacitor a couple months ago. I check in when I need sensitive insight and feel starved for rich writing. The other day I stumbled upon this beautiful post from her and I think you should, too.

Some things I learned from her words about the natural rhythm of sadness and how to deal:

–Find something small that is beautiful and carry it with you
–Remember to carry your sadness inside. Do not bury it. Carry it. Remember to let it go occasionally and watch it fall apart at your feet. Remember to dance on its grave.
–Remember to lift the corners of your mouth enough to prevent an entire day of What’s wrong?
– Let is be made clear that giggling and ridiculousness are both highly desirable and should be sought after as much as possible.
–Consume as much happiness as possible and is available.
–Better to become a Sickeningly Positive Person than a FSFY (Feeling Sorry For Yourself).
–Help someone else, every day.


Reminders of those things that really matter, and those things that don’t.
