This resonates strongly, Garrett. Particularly the loss of clarity that comes with returning to normal life. I think about that quite a bit. At the darkest times of my life when I have had that clarity, I remind myself to enjoy it all, because I know I will look back on those times fondly, and actually miss how it was.
Perhaps that is one way we know we are healing -- we go out of that survival state, that tunnel vision, and are able to worry more about the bullshit. I am still trying to find a way to have that clarity and peace without being in a life-threatening situation, or deeply depressed. I want to believe it is possible.
Loved this one
Don't feel guilty about forgetting the pain and agony you went through. Just call it HEALING mentally and physically,

Thanks so much for sharing, Anu. I also want to believe it's possible!
