Worth It

Sometimes I have to remind myself that if life wasn't difficult, it wouldn't be worth it.   If we didn't go through hard things, we wouldn't learn anything.  We wouldn't progress.  

And what is life, if not an opportunity to learn, grow, and progress?

  1. I actually am going to be contrary and say life would be worth it even if it weren't difficult. How fantastic is it to be a breathing thing that's beyond a glorified plant and can exchange oxygen, heal itself, and think faster than any computer can ever imagine? Even those of us with damage or impairments to one of those capacities? how fantastic is it, that we are on this earth, and we are blessed enough to feel? Something we couldn't do for a bazillion, bazillion, bazillion years before. We are awesome. You are awesome. I am awesome. Everything human being is awesome. (Nope, not an optimist at all.) And basically - I <3 you.

  2. Touche, beloved roommate. I didn't realize we couldn't feel before. Like, emotion feel? Does that mean we couldn't love?
