Beautiful Trauma

DAY 23

"Beautiful Trauma"
by P!nk

While I don't pretend my life is nearly as traumatic as those of others, I think this song resonates with pretty much everybody. When P!nk released this song (and the album of the same name), she was quoted as saying, "Life is f---ing traumatic. But it's also incredibly beautiful too. There's a lot of beauty still and beautiful souls." And that's pretty much my worldview in a nutshell. Now that I'm closing in on middle age and leaving the earlier years behind, it's become so abundantly clear to me how incredibly rough and tough life can be, but how incredible and amazing it can be... sometimes even at the same time.
