I know. I’ve been there. I used to be a frequent visitor to that dark place. Not so much anymore. Ideation. Yep. That’s it’s. Solace. Now when I say “I know” I don’t presume to know what’s in your heart and mind other than what you’ve shared and even then, we all interpret via our own experience. But I know my own darkness and it surely resembles what you describe. No “But, Serge, man, think of all there is to live for” platitudes. You know what you have and you know your struggle and you would seem to be chipping away at that stone;?finding your path; making your way. And talking helps. Just vomiting it out helps. Thanks for putting it out there, honestly, unashamedly. Words are your tools. And you put them to good use. Always.

glassy-eyed and grateful for brutal honesty and vulnerability - continuing to constantly "buck-up" while wishing to retreat can be exhausting, amen the Universe puts Arle-like, fawn-like gifts in our path when most needed - beautiful piece of writing
