Sometimes...

...it gets a little tougher than you anticipated. And perhaps you want to scream. And cry. And cry and scream. Basically you want to throw a tantrum, adult-style (is there such a thing?).

It is then that a hug goes a long way. And some perspective from someone who knows you well can pull you out of the darkness and away from the edge of despair. Seeking solace is important. 

It is always a bummer when something you thought was so right, so perfect, turns out to mostly be a rather large disappointment. Picking up the pieces of the broken expectations and placing them on the shelf while you forge ahead into the unknown can be a real challenge. 

Stay strong. Try to laugh your way through it. Realize we are so small in the universe. 

This is not an epic battle. 

It is just a blip on the cosmic radar. Gone in a flash.
