Episode Synopsis

Life is like a swing hanging from a sturdy tree branch. Some days, you soar high, feeling the joy and freedom as the wind brushes past your face. Other days, you sink low, weighed down by heaviness, wondering if you’ll ever rise again. Emotions are like the unseen hands that push and pull you—sometimes gently, sometimes with more force than you’re ready for—but they keep you moving.

And just like on a real swing, sometimes you have to lean in and push yourself. It’s not always easy—kicking your legs forward and back takes effort, especially when you’re low—but that’s how you build the momentum to rise again. If you hang on and keep moving, the swing will always arc upward. And in between the highs and lows, you might just find yourself laughing, enjoying the ride after all.
