When we say
"I hope you have a good day,"
we are saying
"I hope that everything
outside of you
goes well
and exactly according to plan,"
putting pressure on the day to unfold perfectly,
But when we say
"I hope you have a good life"
we are saying
"Though today
may not be all that you wish it to be,
and while you may encounter
temporary moments of struggle, heartbreak and difficulty,
you may still choose to make the best of whatever comes your way
knowing that a single day or moment
does not define your existence,
for they are merely small chapters
in a far greater story
that is continuously unfolding,
and no matter how bad your days,
you can still choose to make a good life."
