This is how you should look at life
It gets better
I really love a bowl of fruit salad. A mixture of different fruits chopped into a bowl. I usually make mine myself with fresh fruits and a sprinkle of lime or lemon. The citric acid in lemon acts as a preservative in fruit salad. It keeps the fruits fresh and prevents it from going brown. The blend of sweet and sour just makes the salad bowl to taste waayyy better.
I like to think that our lives are like bowls of salad. We have so many sweet experiences and memories. But also, we have sour experiences.
Sometimes we like to focus on the bad things that happen to us and forget to be grateful for the sweet. There’s a cliché line that goes “When life gives you lemons, use them to make lemonade”. A good lemonade should have just enough sweetness to balance the sour taste.
Like a good bowl of salad, sourness helps us appreciate the sweetness. For all the disappointments, loss, failure that you may be going through, remember the successes, relationships, peace, family that you have.
Learn to accept the difficult times. It will make you better appreciate the good things that will happen after that.
Bad times don’t last forever and honestly, neither do good
