Just lovely to read this.

Many moments I just want to cry. I feel so defeated in the world. I'm usually a happy person, a positive person, a person who finds joy. And I don't like feeling defeated.

We have been trying to do new things, experience new things, find more joy in spite of everything that is happening. It is so nice to read that you are doing the same!

Thank you for sharing and here's to more bliss!
