I have an end-of-life patient to whom I spoke today. She burst out laughing and said, "It was all such fun. I just had so much fun." I wish this for everyone. I wish that we each would meet death laughing, with little regret and even less fear.

My hope for whoever is reading this is that your life starts making sense and coming together. I hope the good days are right around the corner for you.

Stop delaying joy until life looks a certain way. You're allowed to be happy while you're figuring things out.

you don't just marry a person. you marry their ecosystem. their food. the temperature of their house. their sleep schedule. their friends.their family. their way of moving through the world
