					<description><![CDATA[I&#039;ve found that the more I direct my mind to the positive when it&#039;s after the dark corners, the stronger the recoil and cheerful things start to look unpalatable and fake.  The harder I push away from hard dark stuff, the less it works. I try tet each float in their season and try not to get seasick. A sort of zen practice of touch, acknowledge and let go helps.

Going with the cynical energy could lead to a career in stand up comedy, satire writing. It seems antithetical to identity to go in that direction, but denial of contradictory stuff has its place. Counterintuitively confronting takes less energy than avoidance. It will mean a bit of adaption but a new balance establishing itself.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Rae--

Truer words were never spoken!  You are so wise.  I &lt;3 you!!

 &quot;sometimes our insides outgrow the outline of our lives and when we feel that discord between who we have become inside and who we were yesterday, it feels funny&quot;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Leineriza,

You said it so much better than I did!

I hope you&#039;re feeling better.  I&#039;m still &#039;eh, but I think that I&#039;m going to have to be okay with that for right now.  

Thank you, for saying what you think.   :hug:]]></description>
