Question: what makes everything "worth it"?
Yeah, yeah, the best answer would be "contrast". Without bad times, you can't recognize the good. But Christ, the bad times totally blow. So how do you place value on the good times?
Is it simply a matter of comparison?
Is it based upon how close you can get to long-term goals?
Is it whether or not you can pay your rent?
What really matters to people, as a whole? How do they find a way to look at the shit they're wading through and say to themselves, "Self, this is all going to be okay. Because, clearly, you're succeeding with [insert measure of success/achievement/value here],"?
It's all so beyond me.
Though, they do say that your worst critic is yourself. Honestly, these days, that isn't much consolation.
Xoxo.
I am being 100% honest and non-preachy: for me, it's the promise of Heaven that gets me through. And also the promise that God is working all things for my good. (Romans 8:28) In my thirty years of life, those have truly been the only constants.
