Thank you for this, uncanny in its fitting to where I find myself after so much feels stripped away. Is it the same as acceptance? Not quite, that feels more passive and yet connected.

Lindsay – Those three components are the ticket! No religion for us, too late for that I’m guessing. Maybe the struggle is the point, like Sisyphus. Let’s just stay in the game just to show how persistent we are! And thank you so much for liking my stuff xoxo

Sister Wolf – I catch glimpses of myself being able to embody this virtue you speak of, but damn it, it’s work. I’ve spent years trying to understand my anxiety disorder, and there are three components for me: calming the body, refraining from ruminations about the past, and recognizing that I can’t change jack shit. It’s not defeat, it’s the only way to survive. Life is mostly awful. It’s a constant battle to learn to surf the waves. Every person I speak to that seems to weather these storms and “move on” has some lame-ass, half-true narrative to explain things. I get why people are drawn to organized religion for this reason, though I don’t think I’m ever getting on that train. Thanks for all of your posts – you are the BEST!
