“
there will be bad days. be calm. loosen your grip,
opening each palm slowly now. let go.
be confident. know that this is only a moment,
and that if today is as bad as it gets,
understand that by tomorrow,
today will have ended.
be gracious. accept each extended hand offered,
to pull you back from the
somewhere you cannot escape.”
- SHANE KOYCZAN
