That’s how it feels sometimes. Like we’re shouting into a void, the wind snatching our words away even as we speak them.

I wish I had a solution for you. But if I did, I’d use it on myself. Sometimes, it gets me down. Other times, I laugh it off. Today I feel ok about it. Tomorrow could be different.

All I can offer is sympathy and a reminder that this is the price we pay for the good days. When everything falls into place just right and it feels like the universe is talking directly to us. The valley and the mountain are two faces of the same phenomena. Without knowing one, you couldn’t know the other.
