A Cheesey Snack from the Universe

Sometimes the universe gives me snacks, little things that hold me over.

A nice conversation with a handsome man I just met.

So today, instead of being bummed out by the disappointment of an unsatisfying snack, I will appreciate the hunger that keeps pushing me until it's finally my turn to sit at the feast.

You have given your best in areas of your life where the effort was not returned. And this has made it so hard for you to keep going, and there have been days where you were not sure if it was even possible. But after everything, here you are, just a li
