I read a piece of advice the other day. It said, “Don’t share your despair.” Once upon a time I might have agreed, but I don’t know how to keep the despair inside anymore. It is too massive to be contained. And I don’t know how anyone can look upon the world as it is now and not feel despair.
So let us all share our despair, and if it’s true that misery loves company, then we shall all be good company.
But let us also share the bits of joy that we have gleaned, the tiny rays of hope, the flashes of beauty. The despair must be acknowledged, but the joy sustains us.
