I wish I could say things were getting better in the general sense. Maybe they will but it looks pretty bad a lot of the time. It always feels a little strange offering up little words online as a comfort, but maybe I think they're like pebbles in a jug of water. If you put enough stuff in there, even if it's not the water you need, sometimes the water rises high enough to drink.

If all the good things are transitory and eventually pass, it's true with bad stuff, too. We just gotta hang in there.
