Make Space for Joy

Joy isn’t earned. It’s not the reward for suffering — it’s a basic human need.

Where to find it

  • Music you love
  • Moments of awe
  • Time with animals
  • Play, silliness, pleasure

Let yourself feel joy even when life is hard.
It doesn’t mean you’re ignoring the pain — it means you’re human.
