I remember that prompt and how I responded. That day was a full day for me. I recall I needed to keep it simple and short so I ended up writing on the valley I physically live in. But I too felt the nuance of this prompt and the many angles of which it could be shared from.
Currently, I too am in a valley. And understand the over positivity replies that others can come back with. When that happens I don't feel seen, I feel as if I am being glossed over with an attempt to fix the valley as if one fluffy comment could do that.
Often these valleys ask me to stay awhile. There is something for me to see, integrate, experience or simply to rest. I have not yet determined what is needed yet in this valley. But I have come to trust the process and know it will come. But I still struggle being here, it is challenging either way!
Yes! I have come to trust the process as well, and I'm grateful for that. I think that often, people assume that's not the case if you're really open and honest about struggling. Like you mention, they want to gloss over it. I think I've got both rest and healing/integrating to do in this valley currently. I'm trying to settle in.
