i think i may be a little too fucking fragile for today
Death does not erase a life. It is simply the end of a life. And it is a part of a life, but it doesn’t have the power to undo everything that someone lived through - all of the impressions they made and all of the contributions they made to the people they love, to the work they loved, to the world around them. ... Death is not a failure. ...People think that if you don’t fight hard enough, you give up and die - if you don’t keep a positive mental attitude all the time towards illness that you’re giving up and you’re going to die sooner. And I just don’t believe that’s true. I think that puts a lot of pressure on people to regard death as the ultimate enemy and to resist it. And the resistance to what is is one of the most common forms of suffering. So if we embrace that death is a part of our lives, but it doesn’t define us, our lives will always stand on their own legs and will always be what they are. Then the idea of a life ending seems to me a little bit less final and frightening.

Everything Happens
Have “Bandstand” on in the background as I’m working, and looked up during “Everything Happens.” June and Julia, despite their different hairstyles, have the same hair color. June’s might be just a shade darker. Such a clever way to highlight both their relationship and their similarity. Julia is going through the anguish of losing her husband and trying to come to terms with it - and June, though her husband isn’t dead, also lost him, and spent a long time trying to come to terms with it.
Also, Beth Leavel is absolutely wonderful.
