“When you feel scared, hold someone’s hand and look into their eyes. And when you feel brave, do the same. You are all here because you are smart. And you are brave. And if you add kindness and the ability to change a tire, you almost make up the perfect person.”

Thought: I pasted a photo into a document the other day and it was obscenely large. I was forced to confront every detail. My gray hairs, blemished skin, something in my teeth and poorly maintained eyebrows. Up close it all looks a little worse than the whole picture. Same goes for depression and anxiety. Same goes for grief. Being too zoomed in shows everything without context of how far I’ve come. When I zoom out it doesn’t look nearly as bad; it takes effort to zoom out rather than remained fixated on the blown up view. Progress, not perfect.
