A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

It's this.
To me, saying "this too shall pass" reminds me that life is a journey of good things and bad things my purpose is to experience them all as fully as I can.
Yesterday was great because x, today is shit because y, tomorrow will be new and different because z.
When I'm obsessing and disparing about y, saying "this too shall pass" reminds me that there's a bigger picture, and that y situation will change just as x did.
