Release

The totality of the human experience can be described on the spectrum of love and loss. We are blessed to experience love and often devastated by the loss of it. Sometimes, it seems like we experience more loss than love. Count it all joy. For every tear, there was a smile. For every moment that feels like you can't breathe, there was a moment that left you breathless. Love and loss are two sides of the same coin. Cherish the love. Release the loss. Let it go. 

Free

I've always heard that nothing in life is free. Living in a capitalistic society will definitely make you agree with that sentiment. However, there are a few things in life that are free. Joy is free. Love is free. Hope is free. Affection is free. When you are overwhelmed with life and adult responsibilities remember these lyrics by India Arie: 

It doesn't cost a thing to smile
You don't have to pay to laugh
You better thank God for that- India Arie
