I hear you. I thought that I was going to have my first drink in many months last night but did not. It felt good to be able to exhibit self-control when it feels like you have so little control about so many things.
I find myself quietly realizing that my talk of perseverance, recovery, and personal growth may just have been a warm up to actually embracing these in an over the top sort of way.
Well, hell. Guess the rubber totally hit the road now.
Thanks, Ana. These are the times that try men’s (and women’s) souls. But, we are not alone. We are many of us experiencing the same horror and fear. We ought to share the experience and help each other to keep our sense of humor and our sense of optimism that things can get better.

Or just to exhibit a belief that better things will come when the world wants you to believe everything is shit. It's partial shit but not all shit.
Same boat here. It is a relief to hear other peoples' thoughts.
So grateful to read your stuff today.

At least it wasn't on a fucking tesla!

Thank you Ana.
Thank you for sharing a quiet, powerful reflection amidst all the yelling and screaming.
I love this so much and needed it today: “if I survive that day, every day might also be the day the world begins again.”
Beautiful.
