This isn't especially funny, but it is true! Your heart (figurative) and brain (literal) are elastic and bigger than you think. Joy and pain can keep taking turns (and will occasionally arrive in tandem) in ways you didn't expect. I've been thinking lately about how the more love you have in your life the more loss you will inevitably feel unless an unexpected tragedy befalls you and then everyone around you has to feel that loss. But the pain of loss is orders of magnitude better than the pain of loneliness. And the loneliness you feel now is a problem that you can solve in time. And the heaviness of memory will make you strong enough to carry it the longer you walk around with it.
