"If you have a broken heart or a battered soul

Find something to hold on to or to let go

To help you through the hard nights like a flask filled with hope

Darlin' do not fear what you don't really know."

- Brett Dennen, "Darlin' Do Not Fear" 

A perfect remedy if you ever need inspiration and/or a reminder that no matter what, life is, in fact, pretty amazing: Brett Dennen on repeat.

"And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should..."

-max ehrmann 

Today is one of those days. Where I need to read someone else's words to make me feel better. Where quotes offer reassurance in a way that my own attempt at convincing can't. Where I have so many things going through my mind and I can't seem to harness even one. So rather than try to fix it one by one, sort each one through until it either doesn't exist anymore, or has figured itself out, I just try and let it all go. Chalk it up to the universe and something larger and fate and meant to be. To this is better than that. If it's possible, I'm not sure. I don't know how good I am at it. But it's out there, and it is what it is. And maybe it will work. 

What do you do when you're having a bad—or just weird—day, week?
