Life, let’s be honest, isn’t a guaranteed sunshine holiday. Troubles whisper, storm clouds gather, and sometimes, it feels like hailstones are pelting our dreams. But even in the midst of hardship, there’s always a seed of joy waiting to sprout, a flicker of beauty yearning to ignite. This is a love letter to life, a testament to the 100 ways we can choose to embrace it, flaws and all.

We all stumble. Instead of self-flagellation, offer yourself compassion. You are worthy of forgiveness, of grace.
