Some days it just all feels like too much. Too many things to think about, too many meetings to have, too many conversations to plan for. It’s just all too much sometimes. Today’s one of those days. When I sat down on the Bench, everything felt so heavy. It didn’t feel good at all.
But I think those are the days that we need to sit on the bench the most. Because when I sit here, I see how silly it all was, how silly all the stress is, how pointless it is to feel weighed down by all those things. It’s all a matter of perspective. When I sit here on the Bench, everything feels that little bit better, like everything is okay.
