There Is No Winning. So Enjoy the Game.

I record these because I forget.

Not necessarily facts. I forget realizations. Things that felt absolutely clear to me in one moment somehow become blurry six months later when life changes the lighting.

This one is about cards.

Life deals all of us a hand. Some are extraordinary. Some are terrible. Most are probably some irritating combination of both.

And we spend an enormous amount of energy arguing with the dealer.

Why these cards?

Why does he have better ones?

Can I trade mine?

Can I cheat?

Can I start again?
