When All Else Fails

So many feelings right now. So many raw, hard, edgy emotions. So much stuff. So many challenging days. Too many tragedies.

Feeling useless, helpless - those feelings are the worst. The.Worst.

Life is complicated. It’s a lot.

There are a lot of questions. The biggest of which, for a lot of people, is why?
Why me?
Why them?
Why is all this happening?
Why are so many people acting like nothing is happening?
For the love of God and all things holy, why??

For me, the "why" question is usually closely followed by, “what the actual fuck?”.

When life is throwing so many curveballs and there seem to be no answers, no solutions, there is only one thing to do.

Love harder.
Love harder than you ever have or ever thought you could.
Love so much harder.

Love strangers.
Love people you do not even know.
Listen to them. Touch them.
Love the people, all the people.
Love the people you do not like.
Love the people who are hard to love.
Love them harder.

Those people in your life you don’t say it often enough to, you know the ones.
Call them. Get face to face if you can.
Wrap yourself around them.
Tell them how much you love them.
Say it over and over again. Send an email. Write a note. Smoke signals.
Get a tattoo that says, “I love Mom”.
Show them how much you love them. Be the love.
Love those people. Love them harder than they’ve ever been loved.

Your children, your parents, your soulmate, the loves of your life, love those people harder.
You say it to them. You tell them often how much you love them, but maybe not quite enough. Double down, triple down on your love.
Splay yourself open and beg them to come in.
Say it so often that love is the only thing they can think of when they think of you.
You thought you loved them as much as you could.
Love them harder. Love them so much more.

Love yourself as if you are the most precious thing you’ve ever known.
Love yourself tenderly.
Love yourself fiercely.
Love yourself until you feel dry and then quench your own thirst with your love.
Love yourself like you’re the only thing.
Love yourself like you are everything.
Love yourself deeper and harder than you ever have.

Love harder. Start now. Love until you bleed and then love some more.
