"Grin and Bear It" is the first piece in the "Grin and Bear It" collection -- a series of work addressing the heavy baggage of a bear market. I started this piece towards the end of the 2017 bear market and returned to finish it recently, after feeling its relevance once again.

Bear markets are a natural part of the cycle, and this series will not just dwell on the misery, but explore the nuances, as well.
