This year has taught me that a good year can also be a hard year. I have held joy and pain in equal measure. The joy hasn't made it less painful & the pain hasn't made it less joyful. It’s the year I learnt what it means to hold all things in a delicate balance.
At this big age we’re at, when people show signs of hidden animosity or weird energy, I remove myself. I’m not trying to understand it or make sense of it. Tbh, I’d rather keep that energy as far away from me as possible!
