I often see life as a sin wave, and it varies in amplitude and frequency. Some people have rather boring lives with low measurements and anything bad that happens to them is pretty tame and they have equally relatively tame highlights. But then there's people who just seem to have the most ridiculous poo poo happen all the time. For each unbelievably incredible experience, they will have monumentally bad poo poo happen to balance it out. And it's not all by choice or lifestyle. Kind of like karma, but instead the universe has to maintain the balance of this wave.

It's dumb, I know, but it makes me have hope through some pretty awful stuff I go through frequently while keeping me humble when I've done something crazy cool. Which happens a lot.
