COT – The bad news is you’re falling through the air, nothing to hang on to, no parachute. The good news is, there’s no ground. … it’s easy to fall prey to the “if/when x happens, then it’ll be all good and I’ll be happy” … it’s an illusion. There’s no magical thing/place that fixes all of life’s problems. This is it, try to enjoy the ride.
