Day 4

It's difficult to feel motivated in the wake of loss. My best friend's sister died yesterday. The world has lost a beautiful and care-free spirit. Life is short and unfair. It's hard to accept when it hits so close to home.

From too much love of living,
From hope and fear set free,
We thank with brief thanksgiving
Whatever gods may be
That no man lives forever,
That dead men rise up never;
That even the weariest river
Winds somewhere safe to sea.
- Algernon Charles Swinburne
