Today my wife and I saw a fairly good movie, but nothing I’m going to rave about. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. It was fun but not great. However, near the end there was a scene with a guy who lost his legs and the main character was trying to apologize. His response was something to the effect of:

“You have to embrace the suck… and move the fuck forward.”

A lot of us have shared stories of our situations with loved ones or ourselves in bad situations. I just thought this was the right attitude to take.

Very good. All of us have suffered from some kind of emotional or physical trauma. We’ve gotten over it. So can you.
