COT: “It’s funny to think about the things in your life that can make you cry just knowing that they existed, can then become the same thing that make you cry knowing that they’re now gone.

I think those things come into our lives to help us get from one place to a better one.” -Ted Lasso, press conference after Earl the dog died

Everyone has challenges in life. Losing a friend or relative, a job, or bumpy relationships. It can be hard to remember at the time, but if you don’t let those things win, it will get better, and make you better for it, and better able to help those around you.
