“Ka mu ba mirë.” It will get better. I want to keep the hope in that sentence and ask something of myself too: what am I going to do about it today?
It will get better: connect hope with a next step
If you are reassuring yourself or somebody else, try adding a concrete action. What can you arrange, repair, ask, learn or begin? Who will take responsibility for it, and when will you return to the question?
You do not have to promise an outcome you cannot guarantee. You can make a more honest commitment about the part you will do. That gives the conversation something to come back to beyond another round of reassurance.
Some problems require help, resources or decisions from institutions as well as individuals. Taking your own part seriously does not remove anybody else’s responsibilities. Name what is yours without pretending that the entire situation is yours to solve.
The force of the original post is in its impatience with empty words. I want that impatience to become something useful: work you can point to, a promise you can keep or a step that changes the next conversation from “one day” to “this is what we started”.
