These questions and the feelings they leave with us can be difficult to navigate. When we are left with feelings of despair and hopelessness, these thoughts can become obsessive and intrusive. Different stages of life and different experiences can trigger existential thinking.

You are amazing and you deserve happiness! The name of this blog comes from a cute moment that my husband and I shared one day.
