This is a great, great post and a valuable reminder. There is no such thing like “you have to feel / be xyz” and general assumptions and expectations are NOT reality, they are generalized, often glorified pictures. How we as individuals feel, act, can match it and can be the total opposite. It doesn’t matter. WE matter. How we master our lifes matters. What helps us heal matters. Honesty matters. It is perfectly fine to NOT be grateful for whatever. Nobody needs to explain or justify why they are or are not grateful for things.
I’m grateful you shared this
