@adaptablehouse7827 Hello! This is a beautiful simile, but I'm sorry if this is how you feel about life. Life can get difficult, in fact, it is difficult for everyone at some point in their lives. Sometimes when we're in a bad spot it can feel like a series of waterfalls, but eventually we get to a level body of water. It's not easy to see good outcomes when so many of them have been bad, but there will always be good outcomes! We live in a world where everyone experiences some bad AND good. The way I like to think of it is that when things are going really bad, something good is due to happen shortly. Keep your head up. Try to come up with at least one positive meaning for everything unpleasant that happens. For example: Someone gets fired from their job. It might suck that they got fired from their job because they may have to worry about finances and frankly, maybe they really enjoyed their job, BUT this gives them an opportunity to reflect on the job and apply to jobs that they will enjoy more and make more money doing etc.
