The Cost of Mediocrity

I think it was also some form of self-love loyalty where I felt like I'd been through a lot of really difficult things in life. It just felt like a disrespectful ending to the life of the person that had put in all of that work so that I would have a good life. If my philosophy, whether it's true or not, is that this can be a positive some universe and that there are win-wins in almost every situation. And our job is to just figure out how to manifest them... But does it have to come with the cost that it came with? Why can't it be?
