Have you ever felt like you're trying to tuck an octopus into bed? Just when you think you've got one arm settled, another pops out. That's what living through our current moment feels like-climate catastrophe, political chaos, personal crises multiplying faster than we can count them. We're all walking around with this low-grade fever of dread, scrolling through news that makes our stomachs drop, wondering if hope is just another luxury we can no longer afford. But here's the thing: we've survived before. We've done hard things when everything seemed impossible. The question isn't whether we can endure-it's how we'll choose to live while the world reshapes itself around us.
