I was just having a conversation with my wife, telling her about my suffering, and she mentioned that she thought it was a healthy way to deal with it. I thought I would just mention how it is.

I have a friend who’s dying from cancer, I lost my best friend to an overdose eight years ago, my wife has a serious illness. These are things that I could suffer over, and I do. But more than that I focus on being present.

it’s completely okay, to experience suffering. There’s nothing wrong with acknowledging the suffering. We all experience it, everybody reading this is experiencing suffering at some point. Sometimes daily. Sometimes constantly.

I’m just calling it like. I see it. And it actually makes a difference for everyone, not just for me. By calling out my suffering the way I do, I relieve myself of it, and that then doesn’t impact other people negatively. As it otherwise would.
