There are two ways we can look at life. First, as a gift. Second, as a right. Both have their merit, and these are only two sides of an infinite spectrum. Living at the extremes of our experience is neither sustainable nor enjoyable. As my therapist would remind me, it's not healthy to see the world through catastrophized thoughts or rely on toxic positivity to remain blind to our challenges. "What then," we may ask, "is the alternative?"
