You have to ask yourself, is anything actually happening?

Like, you know something must be going on. Things are moving, birds are chirping ... but is it actual, or just seems to be that way?

This is why love is essential. You can use your heart to navigate the world. You can just accept that things are happening, supposedly, and love your environment.

Deep inside, and I know it's hard, you can use something—what is it?—to just love and care about people and stuff.

And if you're totally functional and are moving through life as though it's actual, and you have to pay bills and change diapers, you don't question the reality of the world. That is your status.

That doesn't mean it's real, it means you're absorbed in it. Which is fine.

One will continue to love you, and support and uplift you however they can.

For no reason. Because we love you.
