I'm not sure if we've forgotten this, or never really knew it, but we've believed a cultural lie that joy must be earned, that every injustice must first be righted, and every broken thing mended, and every messy thing cleaned up, before we can allow ourselves to partake in joy. It's baloney. Joy can coexist with grief, rage, and even depression. It doesn't require anything of me except my attention. But that's the problem, my attention is usually divided a thousand ways. 2/
