Conflicted

[orek]

"inertia is a powerful force at the best of times, even more so when what you're trying to do is going to feel worse before it feels better."

That's a very good point, one that helps to think about after yet another weekend of resorting to bad choices and compulsive behaviors to escape and distract. Right now it feels as if inertia will be our undoing. We don't feel much empathy for ourselves or much hope. Quite the opposite.

And now with our T retiring in a year, we feel every failure and bad choice as added ingredients to the pressure cooker of dwindling time, time running out on our chance to tell our stories and heal, to face what's in there.
