This will pass and the world will be different, but it is always changing.
This will pass and some things will be better.
Some will be worse.
Lisa Fotios
This will pass because we will adapt, we will change, we will find a new normalcy.
We will find our rhythms.
We will get used to the shifts that have upended us now, and we will settle into them.
We will find calmness again, we will find joy again.
We will hug the people we love again.
We will gaze at the night sky and feel awe again.
We will get into routines again.
We will build beauty and seek wonder again.
Right now, the unfamiliarity of it all is compounding our stress.
What this means is that it will be hard to feel at place, especially right away.
Anything new, until familiar, is going to be uncomfortable.
This will pass because next time, we will be ready.
This will pass because we will find a way through.
All together, and each one of us.
There are no promises about tomorrow: what it will look like, or feel like.
Even if you cant see it right now.
Be patient with yourself while you find your footing.
Be easy on yourself while everything is in flux.
Our new lives are waiting on the other side.
We will rise to greet them.
