Thanks A. for sharing where you are! I can relate! I have been dealing with a injured foot the past 14 months. It just does not want to heal! And it was getting better, and then a set back! Hard not to go into that dark place of the "why?" and is it ever going to get better. And things do pass. I am traveling and hiking using poles to stabilize. Doing more than I have been since this injury happened. Sometimes these set backs are needed to step forward. For me literally. Sending love.
That feeling is so relatable; feeling stuck in a dark place, knowing that it will pass (at some unknown point), but also recognizing that just knowing it will pass doesn’t actually make the in-between any easier.
I wonder if these periods are the birthplace of grace and empathy, and if it’s actually necessary to be able to practice grace and empathy with others. Sometimes this thought encourages me, gives me the strength to hold space for my own self.
We always seem to be right in the same spaces at the same time. My two year old has been sick off and on for two weeks and now I’m sick and deep in the throes of depression. I’m glad you’re able to find some solace in the magic moments. 💛

Received! Thank you, Julie! Sending love back. It would be so much easier if healing were linear, wouldn't it?
