I read a story from 2019 today that kinda hit different.

It was out of Smithsonian magazine, and is titled A Young Arctic Fox Traveled From Norway to Canada in 76 Days.

It's remarkable. She's so small...

I mean, just look at this journey...

I wish I knew why this story makes me so sad for her. It's like she kept going because she didn't know what else to do?

Then I got it.

It's the same for most of us. You just keep going because you don't know what else to do.

The difference being that I can turn on a movie and forget about survival for a bit.
