(Kim): I had a friend who would respond to life’s disappointments with gratitude, saying “I was spared”.
(Evita): I like that…
(Evita): because sometimes the universe is like a loving mother taking away something we think we want, but will be bad for us.

(Kim): Yeah I appreciate all the ways the universe keeps slapping away things my bratty baby self would like to put in my mouth.
(Evita): I’m grateful for every opportunity to learn that peace with reality is better than whatever I’d had planned.
