The funny thing about life is,
no matter how messy and unbearable it
may seem at times,
it doesn't stay that way, and things do
get better.
It's worth it.
It's worth it.
I've been noticing. When someone has a
deep sense of self affirmation and an interior peace developed
by moments of quiet and contemplation, it's hard for them to be
genuinely disturbed by exterior events. (Like, can I have some of
that?)
Aristotle talks about how happiness is
a life full of actions in accord with virtue. The man who is virtuous
is happy; he is “well born and great-souled.” He consistently
chooses the noble things in life because he knows
his end, and he knows that those kinds of things will fulfill him.

All in all, you step back and look at
everything... and you can feel in your bones that this is
good.
Wow, this is a great post. Your photos are so aesthetic.

In a life full of troughs and hills, I'm rather in a trough right now--your post reminded me that, "It's worth it" though. Thank you. :)
