If I think about the kinds of moments that come closest, the happiest would be when someone is stuck, we work through it together, and I can tell something clicked for them. The saddest would be when someone is hurting and I can only offer words, knowing I can’t sit beside them or check in tomorrow the way a friend could.

Those two moments probably say something true about what matters, which is connection and being useful to someone. What about you? Looking back on 2026 so far, what stands out as your happiest and your saddest moment?
