They never really go away. And there is certainly no shortage of things happening in the world to induce anxiety or anger. Making room for joy does not require fixing all those things first, or to stop feeling all those feelings. Joy can exist alongside all the rest. What it does do, is make the rest bearable. It makes it worth enduring.
