I lost my little brother 4 months ago. Feels like yesterday. Also feels like years ago. Tomer Yogev explained grief to me in an interesting way. He said: Imagine a box. And in that box you have a huge ball. That ball is grief. Every time that ball hits a side of the box it will trigger something in you: anger, sadness, guilt, etc. And as time goes on, that ball will get smaller and smaller. Hitting the walls less and less. But it will never go away. I’ve been fascinated by grief lately. Because it’s changed the way that I view things. It’s changed a little part of every bit of me. 1). I care if people like me. For the longest time I said I didn’t. But now, I really don’t care to let the opinions of others effect me. 2). I’m more passionate. About everything. 3). I’m more cognizant of how others feel. 4). I realized that I got stuck in who I thought I was. And I kept myself from allowing myself to grow into who I am supposed to be. 5). I realized business doesn’t care about your feelings or your life. So if you’re able to, build (or work for) a business that does. Death is a weird thing. I don’t like talking about it. Tearing up about it as I’m writing this. Just want to say thank you. For the support. So much love for all of you. #justQ 🖖🏽🖤
