There's a unique kind of pain in doing something you hate day after day, knowing you can't immediately escape it. But accepting our current circumstances doesn't mean giving up on change. When we acknowledge both our present reality and the abundance that exists alongside our challenges, we create space for both acceptance and hope to coexist.
