Struggle

There is a misconception about being happy and it goes something like this: if you’re happy, then you already must’ve had everything figured out in life. But it can get way more complicated sometimes. You may not know where you’re going and it’s alright. Happiness and sadness balance in a circle of life and that is making the path more challenging and interesting. The conflict I tried to show was the one that we are facing in times of fear and impermanence. The conflict between people or the one with ourselves. Whatever it is, I hope we all find strength to gracefully live among all this chaos, being kind to each other and, most importantly, to ourselves.
