Something that caught my attention was a line by Sascha Bailey (son of the famous photographer David Bailey) who was on the verge of transitioning but while waiting for an NHS appointment, met his to-be partner, told her of his plan to transition, then according to him “She repeated back my reasoning to me and I just started laughing. It all unravelled from that point.” Not sure what to make of this - maybe that if you’ve lost your ability to laugh at things, you’re not thinking straight

I, too, have been known to fall in love with small, seemingly inconsequential objects! I love the humor advice, it’s so true, but I am also happy for the reminder of finding that love and joy for simple things. A tulip in the garden, an incredible cup of coffee, the smell of fresh rain in springtime. It’s so easy to get wrapped up in the big dramas. And we do need that passion, too. But, sometimes, it’s nice to settle into the beautiful, perfect, joyful little things.
