This is a powerful and very honest write up. I wouldn't call it a rant though and I don't find it negative at all.

This morning I received an update on the health of my father that made me feel sad for a while. Where I would usually punish myself for thinking negative thought or spiral into negativity I told myself this time that it was okay to feel like this. Not much later, I was feeling good again. It's still in the back of my mind but I know I'm gonna see my parents again very soon ( they will visit my twin sister and me in Portugal in less than two weeks ) and I will enjoy all the time I have with them as much as I can.

I merely wanted to point out, like you know, that life is all about waves. It's about not getting stuck too much on the low waves and reminding ourselves those are always followed by high waves that we should try to as much as we can.

Thanks for sharing this with us and keep smiling while telling you that this is all just thoughts and we can choose our thoughts :>)
