Scream if you have to...
We return to a suffering world after celebrating Easter. Sins are forgiven, reconciliation abounds, we have an opportunity to try again---or I hope that we do. Please don't crash and burn when you meet the hard wall that sometimes is life. We're human, and we have human joys and sorrows. Some days begin with tears and end in laughter. If you can't carry your burdens, ask for help. Everyone makes mistakes, but try to put your mistakes and those of others in perspective. It may help to take every mistake as an opportunity to learn how to analyze without over-thinking. Try living in an "I get too..." instead of a "I have to..." world as much as you can. This is is really difficult if you work for a living or have a family or responsibilities to others, but some of your responsibilities liberate you and strengthen you and give you much to be proud of. Ask yourself if you can make what you have to do into an art or into something of beauty.
