As amazing and rewarding as being human can be, it is also rife with extraordinary difficulty and struggle. Teetering on an existential tightrope between order and chaos, hope and despair, certainty and uncertainty, we are much more vulnerable than we like to think we are. (Who knows what tomorrow will bring? Will I be happy? Or alive?) This human experience is not for the faint of heart, and I feel pride and empowerment in acknowledging that.
I would love to hear people ask each other: "Hey, how has being human been for you lately?" How much better we would all feel, and bonded as humans navigating this messy game of life. Because really, at the end of the day, no one definitively knows where we've come from, why we're here, or where the hell we're going.
