Samia, I love this and your present heart. When I was in my 30’s, I started a philosophy for me that pain was a part of my life. Sometimes it would be better, sometimes it would be worse, but I would no longer wait for it to go away. It was a part of me and I wouldn’t waste my life waiting for it to go away. Now, a few years ago, I added a new philosophy that today is the best day EVER

because truthfully, it may be. Nothing is promised and I want to live each day with gratitude for the moment. Everyday can be the last first day or anything else. I know you have this lesson from Marisa and thank you for sharing it with many others.

Been dwelling on this whole essay since I read it, and keep coming back to this Samia, “Because nothing is really certain except for this moment.”

Thank you thank you thank you for reminding me. 🙏❤️
