Thank you, I appreciate that.

I wrote something a little while back on here, in many ways related to this, that I still take to heart. Hope anyone reading this and relating can take something from it, so I think it's worth sharing again.

Genuine sorrow hurts, but my god if it isn't a fascinating and powerful state. It's 100% transformative, in a good way, if you allow it to be. Sorrow and the journey back, imo, is a vital trial in human development, all the more interesting because it's truly universal. The risk is so hardening yourself against pain that it's detrimental, the prize is a deeper capacity for empathy.

To love, and to lose, and to find your way back to love again - it doesn't feel this way in the slough of despond, but on the other end and with some time it's a beautiful thing.
