I saved this screenshot on my desktop a while ago and I keep forgetting what it is and reopening it and feeling it deeply all over again.
![Tweet that reads: my friend told me halfway through giving birth she was like "i can't do this, I simply cannot do this?" and they were like "oh you have to" and life is just like that all the time](https://i0.wp.com/lifeisaboutcreatingyourself.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Screen-Shot-2022-12-15-at-8.56.19-PM.png?resize=819%2C544&ssl=1)
There are some things you can trick your brain into gratitude . . . you “get” to rather than “have” to. And I generally try to be in the “if you can’t get out of it, get into it” camp.
But also, big uffda some days. Hence the screenshot I save and randomly open and laugh. Sometimes you just have to laugh.
With Love,
