I think it's important to remember the sun rises and the sun sets every day. If you can remember those two things, you can remember no matter what happens, life continues. All the good, all the bad. Each day is an opportunity to start again. It holds the possibility to have tragic days and glorious days. There will be sunsets you can't wait for because the day has been too hard or maybe the week or month. But you need to remember the beauty in each day and each sunrise. No matter what happens, the world revolving, and we keep going.
This week is a particularly interesting week. Today marks two months since Uncle David passed away unexpectedly. Tomorrow marks nine years since Babcia passed away, and Monday marks three years since I made the move to Los Angeles. To think back two months to three years to nine years, I can tell you each time I couldn't wait for the sun to set, I always saw the sun rise the following day. For each time I wished the sunset could be delayed, it set. Life is a balance. When you can't wait for the sun to set, you need to remember those days you wished it would never set or those day you were too excited for the next sunrise.
Every bad day or week you've ever had, you have survived. Every good day has proven that good days and moments will always lie ahead. Reflecting over these few days, I've found I'm not the same I was 9 years ago, 3 years ago, and barely even two months ago. I've found strength where I've struggled before. I found comfort in remembering. I've found confidence facing the unknown. I know life can be dark, I know life can be bright. I know the two will always go together because they make you appreciate and recognize one another.
Remember, the world will keep in turning. Embrace the sunrise and the sunset each day.
